![[Sub] Fruit Peel Candy Recipe | Cream Waang](/img/tr.png)
I just tried making these and I have a couple tips:
1. Don't cook your lemons too long lol. I did because I thought they looked great, but it wasn't "long enough," so I kept going. Go more by how they look than the actual time, especially if you are making more or less than the recipe. (Same for oranges, but the timing worked for me on those.) The glassy look and the syrupy liquid is what you want. That said, I'm pretty sure my lemons are still going to come out great, just a little chewier
2. The recipe doesn't say what to do with the liquid after, but you can totally save and use it! If you continue cooking the sugar syrup (now citrus flavored) down, you will basically turn it into candy. when it gets thick and bubbly and starts to brown, you can spoon it out onto parchment paper and let it cool into little lozenges like hard candies. Don't throw away good food!
3. In my oranges, I used half white sugar, half brown sugar and threw in a few cloves. Smelled *amazing*. After removing the slices, I simply poured the remaining syrup into a jar to save. You likely won't have to refrigerate it, as the sugar content will be high enough to preserve it. But I gave it a taste, and dang. It will be so good on pancakes, ice cream, yogurt - whatever you want. Or you can save to use for a future dessert.
The whole process took a good amount of time, but is not difficult at all. Highly recommend!
Great tips. Thank-you!
What is the purpose in boiling them in water the first time?
First boil extracts bitterness from pith.
It occurs to me you could mix small-leaf herbs like thyme into the syrup when it gets thick enough to spoon onto the parchment. Thus making the flavor more complex.
@@msr1116 Yeah that makes sense, thank you.
You can make something similar with ginger, and the syrup leftover is great with some seltzer water to make ginger ale
Candied fruits are not placed on a grate, but in powdered sugar and the syrup is boiled in the same water in which the fruits were cooked.
Many different ways sweetheart
@@nowirehangers2815 There are many ways, but there is one algorithm of action, one technology, it is thousands of years old, when there was no sugar, honey was used. Breaking the technology, making illogical changes to it, nothing good will ever happen. And yes, I am a grandfather in his seventh decade, I have been making candied fruits for more than 50 years, in various ways, but I do not violate the technology.😀
@@ПрофиСтудияThank you grandpa. I was looking for an alternative for sugar in this recipe. Honey is a fantastic healthy choice 😍.
@@ПрофиСтудия I don't throw the water/sugar/syrup away after removing the fruit. I let it boil down slightly to make it thicken more and jar it up for orange/lemon/fruit jelly... There is a tremendous amount of flavor in that syrup. No sense in wasting it.
@@ПрофиСтудияYou don't experiment, innovate or explore? I am sure you make nice candied fruit, but these are not things to celebrate.
This video hurt my teeth 😬
Great dipped in dark chocolate!
great idea!! Maybe sprinkled with a few salt flakes, too.
As a kid, these were christmas to me. The lime ones were my favourite.
Yes. They have been candied and are edible. Orange and lemon and lime peel are also a cooking ingredient that you find in baked goods such as panettone and mince pies. Most of the flavour in those fruits are in the peel itself rather than the flesh inside the fruit.
@JacknVictor As I watched the video, I thought to myself, "I bet this would be great with limes." 😄
Cranberries work, too. Poke a hole in them first.
wonder if the water used to boil them can be used somehow? perhaps even as a flavored water cold from the fridge i would think all the minerals,vitamins and bitters extracted by the water would not only give it a good taste but its good for you like those specialty smart water or seltzers they sell
it wouldn’t really be good for you because of all the sugar but it would definitely make a great natural flavored syrup for drinks
@@joeluckett7010 what sugar??
@@ARCSTREAMS ohhhhh my bad you mean the first round of water
@@joeluckett7010 yes
try it with gin
I can only imagine how great making these would make the house smell. I love candied fruit.
I throw orange peels and cinnamon sticks in my fireplace for a wonderful smell ❤when burning wood
Can confirm: it smells delish!
The only thing that bothers me about this recipe isn't even the recipe its the cringe I had to no parchment paper under that rack because who wants to clean that sticky syrup off their countertop?!
hope you'll get over it 😂😂😂😂
No one is gonna see this lol. Made the orange slices. I was surprised by how much moisture they retained in the end. Makes me wonder if I cut them too thick. Wondering if I should have baked them on low a little after drying. Hopefully the sugar coating doesn’t get too sticky over time.
Also, DON’T ADD VINEGAR…. I thought a small amount would make it slightly sour. It kind of did, but the pure vinegar flavor also persisted. Not what you want from these, I promise. Luckily I only used a little, so they were still palatable.
Was hoping to use them as garnish for a new drink at my bar, but this batch definitely won’t do :/
Also, probably obvious if you’re not me, just use a mandolin. No need to carefully slice the oranges with a knife. Duh :P
I make candied orange and lemon peel at Christmas - and this is done very much the same way. I did try saving the sweet syrup after I was done to add to tea- it wasn’t as tasty as I expected it would be. But now since I’m seeing something about this again I wonder if it would be good adding to carbonated water that so popular now - I’ll give it a try next time I make this Christmas candy! It a long messy process but the results are so good especially if you drizzle chocolate over the orange peels!
could try is adding, orange/lemon extract to the syrup to boost its flavor a bit.
If you keep them in a jar separately the orange syrup can be great like a honey into your tea. But it IS very light flavored and you might have to add some add'l sugar. I always save the syrup after making these. I've never done the lemon but I feel inspired.
Try using grapefruit peel sliced about ½" wide. I like cooking it until it's still a bit soft and jelly like. Dip one end in dark chocolate. It was even better than the orange.
Wonder instead of just sugar at the end. Mix it with some citric acid? Give them a bit of a little sour bite.
Wow a cooking video with cool music versus the usual cheese ball BS. Didn’t think it was possible. Love it.
oh brother 🥱🥱
NOTE : when cooking the fruits you need to put the cactus pot nearby the pan to enhance mild & tender taste.😮😅😊❤😂
Ahhh! That explains where I went wrong. I left my cactus on the window ledge... 🙂
No wonder... I think I saw a cactus running around in the garden the other day, maybe ill invite it when im cooking.
Be careful! Those things can be real pricks. PRICKLY! I meant PRICKLY...!@@fuzzy-02
Mum said it's my turn with the brain cell
Bioclandestine? 👀
How much sugar?
Instructions: Yes
Great music. Great visuals (cactus). Great video!
Orange lettering against the oranges, and yellow lettering against the lemons, is hard to read! 😂
What is the expiration on these ? A week or 2? 🙏🏽
Great video. If we wanted to make thicker cuts (say, an inch) would we just increase the amount of water and sugar to give it more time to be candied all the way through? Appreciate the video and any feedback as well.
Thank you for those kind words! Would prefer to have the slices not too thick. It takes time to get cooked, at the same time to get dried too. Makes the process more difficult.
Makes it impossible, they would likely mold inside before they dried.
@@kitkakitteh Unless you used a dehydrator
Edit: or oven baked on lowest temp
@@kitkakitteh Lol, no, both sugar and citrus are excellent preservatives
My mother used to make candied peel. I like the look of the slaces.
I have some citrus I can't wait to try this with, Im going to try lemon organic and grapefruit
That sounds delicious!
Did grapefruit work? I've been trying to find a good candied grapefruit recipe but all the ones I've tried have turned out horribly bitter, no matter how many times I blanch it or how much sugar I put in ti
I followed every step until I made slices of orange then I ate all slices.. No suger no firewood😊
👍👍
One time I was making candied ginger using honey, and a bunch of bees came to the screen of my kitchen window! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Here’s a way to move this to the next level….dip half of each citrus slice in dark chocolate! Yum!
😮 I would so end up in the icu if I did that!!!
Think I'm gonna try it. 😂❤🎉
I really like the song in this video as well!
I would coat the lemon ones with citric acid instead at the end. Yummy and sour.
That song hits
PS gorgeous acoustic guitar music
Blanching the citrus is important.
Otherwise, the fruit will be bitter.
Can add a drop of food coloring to make them brighter.
Use sparkling sugar for the second time.
You’re so right - I blanch the peel in clean water, bring to a boil for 15 min 6 times before I finally make the syrup. Yes getting rid of the bitter makes them delicious- it’s faster if you don’t but the results is great!
@@historylover1679 Why not just boil them for an hour instead of `15 minute intervals? BTW part of their appeal is the little pop of bitter orange. It's like having marmalade.
Nice video......and very soothing music!
What a song!!!!!!
Me gusta mucho la receta que rica me encanta mucho 👍👍😋😋🔔🔔🤝👌💯
Amazing
Unfortunately blanching them for 6 minutes all the flesh leaked into the water so now left with just the skins
The cuts would have been too thin! Do try with a not too thick nor too thin! ♥
Blanching should take about one minute, not six.
Sounds like Diablo music 😅
Smooth Fire on you, Shaho Rear Najim Joy. The music is beautiful!
These were big in the sixties. I remember my grandmother and my mom making them when I was a little girl.
Ive done this and there boiling them twice is not necessary
I wonder what cinnamon sugar in the final step tastes like. I think I'm going to find out today!
This was so delightful, thank you!!
They look mouth watering! I need to make this. thank you
Can we do this with Apple slices
приготовил по рецепту,тесто не пропеклось,влажное внутри,простояло около 1,5 часа,тк надеялся,что пропечется
I find it really funny that instead of the average tulips draped aesthetically across the corner of the shot, there's just a cactus 😂😂
Anything involving boiling roasting frying fruits not 4 me. Eat as God created. U killing murdering d vitamins
Basically using what's left of the slices to hold flavored sugar.
Will it even taste like the fruit anymore after all that boiling? At that point it seems like it would just taste like sugar.
Wouldn't it be better to cook them in sugar water and let the water thicken, rather than throwing away flavor with the first boil?
You boil them the first time to remove the bitter flavour, otherwise they wouldn't be very good
@@KaiSub I never thought of that. I like marmalade :) Good point though.
@@pursaveer9027for marmalade you boil and discard the water. My recipe has you do it 3 times. Aside from removing bitterness it opens up the rind so it absorbs more of the sugar syrup.
what is the actual song being played because the tagged song doesn't seem to be correct ?
A whole lot of extra work.... Do it one good time & you're done! Plus save the syrup for later.
How long it stays good? Should I keep it in fridge?
What can be done with the remaining sugar syrup??
☆I'm late to watch this video, but I will definitely try to make this fruit 😊...Thanks for sharing.☆
Vielen Dank für diese Rezept!! Ich habe es mit Mandarinen gemacht!! Sehr sehr fein!
Thank you for this recipe. I made it with tangerines. very, very delicious.
Your music reminds me of Paranoid Android by Radiohead.
Why did you shock them in ice water? I haven’t seen anyone else do that
So that, it doesn't get overcooked.
@@toothsomerecipesfor how long should you place them in a ice bath??
Are they still sour at all? I wonder if a little citric acid with the sugar at the end would be good.
You’d think they’d have enough acid in left
Between tangibly and bow this, my tasty fruit intake is gonna spike to ridiculously delicious levels.
😀🍊🌵🍋 2024 🌏🇮🇳
Why do you boil the fruit slices in water before cooking them in syrup? Can you skip the first boiling step and just cook them in sugar directly?
why don't you try that, then report back
Melt dark chocolate and dip the orange candies. So good
Why wouldn't you use the water you first used to cook them with? it has a lot of the flavor and smell in it.
good idea, try that 😂😂😂
Directions to basically (over)cook till almost dissolved. I don't know about all of that...
so this comment was essentially immaterial
Is this a two-step cooking process? I would appreciate the feedback.
Yesss.
Why do you have to cook them twice? Wouldn't the ice bath leach all the juice out?
do it your way
cutting on that surface gives me the ick.
The ones I made just fell apart. Why?
Your slices might have been too thin.
Todo iba bien hasta que le hecho azúcar
Sugar is the temptation of the devil for me. So bad for the body
Artificial is worse… I’ll take my chances with nature.
i make mine with tomatoes
no one likes them..
This didn’t work for me in the first batch. I had to slice them a lot thicker than what it shows (I used a mandoline at 1/4” - and then just used a knife). You boil it so much and for so long, all you have left is the outer ring and a pan full of pulp and sugar after the 40min boil and before the 30 min slow boil. Cut them thicker and it works a bit better.
Beautiful images and Beautiful music!
I’d use the sugar water for ice tea
Looks a gorgeous recipe, but in the 20 years I've lived in France, I've never seen granulated sugar. They have a very fine caster sugar, icing sugar, one type of brown sugar (as opposed to about half a dozen types in the UK), and sometimes preserving sugar, and sugar cubes.
Ok all the times you boiled them in sugar.. yeah I'll just eat the fruit.
Candying is a food preservation technique used to keep fruits longer before refrigeration is a thing...
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 I know so is canning.
As vitaminas foram para o ralo ( esgoto). O que sobraram foram as calorias do açúcar.
love sugar, screw the vitamins
Woah these look way cool! Homemade sour patch kids. Im definitely going to try this one out
Can’t speak for the lemon, but you’ll probably want to add citric acid for a more sour patch kids flavor. It typically comes in a granulated form, so you want to mix it with the sugar you coat the candies with in the final step. Idk the ratios.
And if you’re thinking of adding vinegar for any reason at all, please don’t. That was a bad idea…
I'm just wondering if you use sugar in the first boil because you didn't indicate. There are pros and cons to the no speaking it works as long as it's a very clear self-explanatory process but this is not.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
whats the music?
sounds nice
What's with the cactus? 🤪
It’s cute
@@nowirehangers2815god, people are so stupid, not you
I tried this with key limes and it didn't work very well, so if you're someone who was considering using key limes, don't. The skin is a bit too bitter in my opinion. Oranges are best
Do you have to dredge them in sugar? I'm not a fan of the texture.
do what you want for ch**** sake
Dip half of orange segment into melted chocolate, milk or dark, dry on some parchment paper, they will look pretty to gift on !!🇬🇧🐶
Stupid place for a cactus
Ahhhh vou fazer essa semana 😋🇧🇷
Parece INCRÍVEL, não é? Estou feliz em tentar isso também!!!❤❤❤
Why not just add sugar and continue? why rinse and add new ater?
I think the first boil takes away some bitterness of the peel. I've done it without the first boil and the end result it a bit like marmalade jelly. So if you like that jelly you don't have to do the first boil.
it's CANDY, hello in there.....
@@wannabetrucker7475 The fuck type of braindead comment did you just make? Why did you even bother to comment?
how do you store them? and how long. a recipe screen shot would be helpful
I'd like to know this, too. Freeze? Refrigerate? Air-tight room temp?
I have made them and I have kept them in a waxed paper or parchment lined container. I've also put the waxed paper between the layers as these can be very sticky. You can keep them at room temp, but I prefer to keep them in the fridge.
Thanks so much for this info. Very kind of you to respond
Great video and very nice music
Yummy! I think the lemon ones would be my favorite!!
I make a tomato lemon jelly, just read below that blanching the lemons removes the bitterness, I'll have to try that. It's been way too long since my last batch.
dont pre boil it, the middle just falls apart unless your using super super fresh lemons.
👩🏼🦳🇲🇽🙋🏻🙏✌️😇👍
Look pretty good, this could be used as toppings for a cake or something, any idea how long they can last in storage?
А в сиропе никак неззя ? Зато сироп был бы вкусен сразу в сахаре варить и фся вкусноьа в чай
Jesus how much sugar ????
Lots. Remember, on the 7th day God made sugar, and it was good.
y'all reading too much New age bs too much sugar, sugar's bad blah blah blah very tedious
@@wannabetrucker7475 well, it actually isn't exactly "good" for us. But we have free will so we can eat it if we want to and nobody is going to stop us. Personally I try to limit it these days but only because I have inflammatory arthritis and sugar is highly inflammatory.
sounds like if Fleetwood Mac did the Diablo game music
Heart attack oranges
that's a goofy non sequitur
@@wannabetrucker7475 Ye, actually i meant stroke
I boil whole oranges and lemons and then slice them before sugaring. Doing as you did will absolutely take away all the nutrients ...
@oujdoujda4258 Did you miss the part where this is CANDY? 😆
I didn't but my comment is about the procedure/stages.@@Inigo_The_Son
@@Inigo_The_Son This is not candy.
@@slimthickaz. It's in the title....twice! 🤪
Sooooo easy, with tone of sugar😂
I'll think of trying it.
I find it deceptive how many steps you choose to omit, here. Clearly, you pre-boiled your citrus, as one must do to succeed in making citrus candies.
it's her da*n channel, yeet off
