Clementines in Ginger Syrup, Algerian image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled ginger
4 green cardamom pods
3 whole star anise
6 clementines or 6 any small oranges
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)

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).

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

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

I 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.

I found that the clementines were a bit too tart for my taste. I added a little bit of honey to the syrup to sweeten it up.

The ginger syrup is so versatile. I've used it to make cocktails, mocktails, and even salad dressings.

These clementines in ginger syrup are a delightful treat! The syrup is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and ginger flavor. The clementines are cooked to perfection, and they retain their natural flavor and texture.
