  • I squezed a load of oranges for juice - leaving me with a large bowl of rinds - normally I'd just compost these, but they can be preserved in syrup to use as an ingredient in baking.
    This video details the preparation of the peel - to see how we use these preserved peels in a fruit cake, take a look here:

    Cut the oranges the other way - not from stem to end - you might get more juice. that's the way it usually done. I am keeping my eye out for that hand juicer-what a great invention!

    I really enjoyed watching your video as I was hoping to make some mince pie soon for Christmas, and I didn’t want to use candied peels for my own recipe which I see a lot of people posted on UA-cam. Your voice and mannerism reminded me of my uncle with whom I used to make blackberry jam 🇬🇧
    It makes me sad to have to see how some person tells you you’re wrong instead of saying “this technique is unfortunately incorrect”(though she was fine to make the technical remark). People need to start speaking in a polite/appreciative manner especially on technical stuff, so that guys like you will keep making more interesting cooking videos 🙏🏼

    I used to make that, all the time; Spring, Summer, Winter.. I also would use it for cakes and icing. But, now, my kids (and their sig others) are strange about baked goods. They mostly want to avoid wheat (well, most of the time) and baking with rice flour and other than wheat, is difficult.
    I have all the great utensils, and, I hardly bake. I don't have anyone to give baked goods to!

    I use a vegetable peeler and peel the orange skin off without that bitter pith. Then I cook the orange zest slices in the orange juice and sugar on the last boil. The first 2 boils are with water. After the 3rd boil, you dry the orange slices and chop up for fruitcakes etc. The best.

    I have been trying to make use of whole oranges, having had a large delivery as a member of a crowdfarming project. I have frozen zest sorbet style, made orangecello with thin strips of zesty rind and made candied peel. I have seen a lot of Korean videos where the cooks use various citrus in slices in a jar of syrup, but in those videos they don't cook the fruit or rind. The syrup is boiled and poured straight into the jar which contains the citrus slices. The product is mostly used for tea i.e. some put in a mug with boiling water added as a hot drink. Do you cook the fruit as a personal preference, or is there a another reason for cooking the fruit?

      Likely not shelf stable - while it is definitely hot when he's canning it, there's still going to be a risk unless you pressure can / boil (hot pack) it for a period of time after you close the jar in order to pull a vacuum. That's what causes properly canned goods to become shelf stable - the combination of a vacuum to keep the outside air out, and the hot temperatures to kill the bugs that are currently present. This is probably safe for a few months, but definitely not something that will keep for years.

      It doesn't really matter what the measurements are. If you want to use the preserved peel for the mentioned cake recipe there is a link provided in the description of this video. Which you can reference, then use to cut the appropriate number of oranges.
      Otherwise if you just want to preserve the peel for something else it depends how big your jars are.
      He cut up 9 oranges and used the jars shown in the video with a bit of preserve left (which didn't fill a whole jar) and some raw peel left too.

      Make a syrup using equal volumes sugar and water, bring to boil. Juice oranges and slice peel to yr preference. Put peel in slow cooker, barely cover w syrup. Cook on high till boils then on low about 5h. Bottle into sterilized jars, cover w sterilized seals, close. Note w this bottling/canning method you need a clean utensils and hands and keep yr sticky paws off anything that ends up in the jar, including the inside of the jar and seals themselves.

    You’re very wrong on anything being sterile. You’re hands and that oven mit are full of a variety of bacteria and you touched both of them to the gaskets and the inside of the lids and jars. Also, the inside is not being exposed to boiling temperatures after you filled them with the orange peel sugar syrup mixture, otherwise you’d see the liquid actively boiling, thus no sterilization took/will take place. You should give accurate information, especially when it could involve matters of health. Althg, the sugar concentration in and of itself can inhibit microbial growth.

    • @AtomicShrimp
      @AtomicShrimp  5 років тому +6

      I'll be the first to admit that the methods used here are not especially rigorous, but you are overlooking one very important factor - the boiling point of jam/marmalade is 105c or higher - thus it remains at a temperature higher than 100c - the boiling point of water - until well after the jars are sealed - and so it is correct to say that the insides of the jars are subjected to 'boiling temperatures' for a period of time after they are closed.

    • @mtgal48

      Sazy, you're completely correct. This canning technique was called "open kettle" canning, acceptable when the first mason jar was patented in 1858 and in use by my grandmother into the 1980s. By the mid-1940s however, this canning method was no longer sanctioned by microbiologists or food scientists. Only 2 methods are recommended: boiling water bath or pressure canning. In the book, Putting Food By, the author says: "Jars, lids, sealing-rims probably were sterilized ...in boiling water. Fine. But then they sat for seconds or minutes in the open air of the kitchen while the contents were ladled in, and air-borne spoilers, some potentially deadly, contaminated the inside of jars and covers. The hot food simply was not able to re-sterilize the container." And, the hot contents should really be ladled in through a funnel to keep food particles/syrup from settling on the rim. The recipe may be fine, but the technique can't be recommended.

      Please don't rush to put down the poster of the video. This is an timehonoured bottling method, and as long as you have reasonably clean hands it works just fine for very acid foods such as this peel, done at high temperature. I've used this method successfully for 50 years, and my mother and her mother before her used the same. It's no longer taught in schools because it's not a safe method for grubby and totally clueless people to decide to use for pH-neutral or protein food. If you are concerned, you are free can the closed bottles in a water bath in the usual manner.
