The range of use of this sweets, respectively, is similar: baking, desserts, addition to cereals and dairy products, or simply to a cup of tea, or coffee.
The recipe for confiture of oranges
Ingredients:
- oranges - 2 kg;
- sugar - 6 glasses.
Preparation
Orange peel (orange part) rubbed on a grater. White citrus flesh cut with a knife, trying to collect all the orange juice running down in the process. Now, the orange pulp should be separated from the membranes with a sharp knife.
In a bowl, place zest, flesh, juice and sugar. Put the bowl on the fire and bring it to the boil. Remaining from the cutting of the pulp membranes and seeds contain a huge amount of pectin, which will thicken our confiture, so we cut the scraps into a gauze pouch and also send it to the pan. Cook the confiture at 104 degrees for 5 minutes, and then put a drop on the cooled plate: the prepared confiture will be held flat by the finger.
Now the confiture can be served to the table, or rolled into sterilized jars.
If you want to cook a bitter orange confiture, then use for the recipe is not simple, but red bitter oranges.
