CLEMENTINES IN GINGER SYRUP, ALGERIAN
Like cinnamon in this country, cardamom plays a starring role in Algerian sweets. Paired with star anise in a gingery syrup, it gives clementine, or any small oranges, slices an irresistible aroma, but the syrup would be just as wonderful over any kind of sliced fruit.

Steps:
- Bring water, sugar, ginger, cardamom, and star anise to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep, covered, 15 minutes. Strain syrup through a sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Cut peel from clementines, including all white pith, with a sharp knife, then cut fruit into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and put in a serving bowl. Add syrup and chill, covered, at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds (if using).

peace_g@hotmail.comThe clementines didn't hold their shape very well after they were cooked. I think I'll try poaching them next time.

d_nemeth39@aol.comI accidentally used too much ginger, and the syrup was too spicy for my liking. Next time, I'll be sure to measure the ginger more carefully.
