      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    This recipe takes forward planning!

  1. Top and tail the fruit

     

  2. Cut the peel with a sharp knife from each piece of fruit then slice the peel into strips.

    Blanch peels at this stage if you like, this will assist in reducing the bitterness of the peel.

We served these peels as a treat on the Blood Orange Sorbet at a Thermomix Cooking Class and the guests loved it!

    You're a lifesaver - been doing this without Thermi for years for a Honey & Co Fig Walnut Orange loaf that I absolutely love, and I only make it once or twice a year as candying the orange peel was such a schlepp and then occasionally would loose the whole lot as it would set like a rock - not any more!! This turned out perfectly, thanks so much!! Am going to keep the syrup for a Xmas cocktail or three tmrc_emoticons.;-)

    I halved this recipe, as I was only making it to use as a garnish on top of a lemon tart. I made it with orange peels. It was very easy. I think if I was to make it again, I would blanch them first, to take away a little of the bitterness. I have saved the leftover orange-flavoured sugar syrup to use as a topper for pancakes (instead of maple syrup), as I hate wasting anything. Overall, highly recommend. Smile
