We get loads and loads of oranges and lemons given to us. So Wednesday I started out making Lemon curd. The recipe I used was one for the microwave and it was really very easy and quick.
Then having made that I turned to oranges and found a marmalade recipe for the microwave also. This was also very easy to make and it tasted lovely too.
I then tried making Orange peel in syrup.
You cut the peel into wedges and are supposed to thread them onto string, but not having string I used cocktail sticks.
You soak them in cold water for 24 hours
Then you boil them in sugar to get a syrup
And you end up with of candied curled peel which you use as a sweet with yogurt.
The oranges that I have left will be juiced I think.
:-) lucky you. I have a couple of orange tree's here in the garden. I have yet to take their Winter covering off and inspect the damage.
