Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 3 oranges, organic
- 150 g sugar
- 75 g water
- 2 shots of Grand Marnier
Instructions
Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes
for chocolates, for flavoring, natural orange flavor
Preparation: Thoroughly clean the oranges (edible peel) under hot water. Using a peeler, peel off a thickness of about 2 mm (including the white pith!). Then cut into approximately 2 mm-thick cubes. Boil water with the sugar and add the cubes. Reduce the syrup to approximately 104°C (a faint thread). Once cooled, transfer to a glass jar. If desired, stir in the Grand Marnier. This syrup will keep for a long time if stored in a cool, dry, and dark place. Faint thread: Take a small amount of the boiling sugar between your thumb and index finger. When opened and closed, a slight “thread” forms, which will break immediately. Caution! Do not burn your fingers. Tip: This syrup can be used to flavor praline candied fruit or for cakes and tortes (cream, buttercream). Decorating orange sugar: Drain the syrup. Dry the candied orange peels and store them in a glass jar as decorative orange sugar.
