Add a photoThis recipe is simple to make, but quite a show stopper dessert. It is made in a spiced, fragrant syrup, but it isn't overly sweet. It is nice because it can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a day or so before serving, so it is perfect for dinner parties, family dinners, and even holiday tables.
Ingredientes
- 4 mandarins, cuties, or tangelos
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 3/4 cup sugar or honey
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 10 whole cloves
- 6 green cardamom pods
- 1 star anise
- 1 tsp rose or orange blossom water (look in the international foods aisle)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2-3 slices of fresh ginger

- First prep your citrus; gently cut off the ends, peel the citrus whole, and remove any extra pith. You want a whole, mostly pith-free orb.
- Put your syrup ingredients in a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place your peeled whole tangelos/mandarins in the syrup and let simmer 5 more minutes. If they are not submerged because of the pot size, just turn fruit over frequently during the 5 minute simmer.
- Take pot off heat and let cool, turning your fruit in the syrup as needed while it cools.
- You can gently spoon your fruit into a large canning jar or bowl and pour all of the syrup and spices right over the top and store in your refrigerator until use. Or, you can serve immediately when still warm.
- Eat the citrus in a dessert cup with some of the strained syrup drizzled over the top and a dollop of whipped cream or with some vanilla ice cream.
- It is easy to keep this dairy-free by using coconut milk whipped cream/ice cream.
- If you have extra syrup left use it drizzled over pound cake, on pancakes, or over any dessert. YUM!
