Clementines - what to do with them?

sweetiesarahjaneuk

Hiya,

My DH has gone a bit overboard over the last couple of weeks and we have a surplus of about 20 clementines!!

Does anyone have any recipes that contain clementines so I can use them up?

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Mmm sounds yummy!! Will give it a go!

As it only takes up 4-5 of the 20 odd clementines I have any other recipes also welcome!!

The nigella cake is lush - really good moist texture - sure you will make more than one!

I would squeeze them as clementine juice is my very favourite juice.

At Christmas I usually make Tipsy Clementines. Peel whole clems, removing as much pith as possible. Make up a Southern Comfort syrup, pour over the clems and chill overnight.

Syrup - Dissolve 8oz sugar in 3tbsps water, bring to the boil and stir constantly until golden.
Remove from heat and carefully add 3 fl.oz water (may spit!).
Return to heat and stir until smooth.
Add 5 tbsp (or more!) of Southern Comfort.

If you can, peel them very carefully, so the skin is in half, widthways. The pith down the centre can then be lit and you'll have a cute, nice smelling candle. We used to do this at school at Christmas lunch

An idea from 14 yr old Sam Stern's book Cooking Up a Storm.

Chocolate clementines -peel them and cover in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until hard.
