      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.

Tip

Recipe can be doubled easily

You can also blanch the orange peels first before cooking them in the sugar syrup.  According to some recipes, this takes away the bitterness of the peel.  I tried the peels without blanching and with, and they were slightly less, but not too much of a difference to me.  Maybe if you were going to give these to kids, then yes, I'd recommend blanching first, but the juxtaposition of the very slight bitterness and the sweet is lovely.

You can use the tail of the orange as well, for some of your own snacking!

Clean out the chocolate in the bowl by putting in milk, and blitzing it, voila, chocolate milk.

    Hi Suec58,  if you just reduce the temp to 100 degrees, it should be ok.  It's to boil the sugar syrup.  I coverted it from a stove top recipe to a thermomix one to make it easier, so I dont think you should have any problems.  So the quantity doesnt have to be reduced I'm pretty sure, just the temp.

    It says not to use this recipe unless you have the new thermomix. Can the quantity be reduced to make it safe to cook in the TM31?
