It’s the perfect treat for the darling clementine in your life.
These make a simple but decadent dessert, topped with crushed pistachios, shaved bittersweet chocolate, and served with a small demitasse cup of hot cocoa. They’d stand in very nicely for the whole fruit, and it doesn’t take as long. If you’re not into candying the whole fruit, I ran across this recipe online for candy-coating the segments. The sugary sweet clementines become more complex, slightly bitter, but retain their bright citrus flavor. You’d think that simmering them in simple syrup for a couple hours would be overkill, but in fact it actually tones down the sweetness, and brings out some of the bitterness of the peel. They’re small, easy to peel, sweet as sugar, and seedless. I’m not opposed to buying stuff out of season, but I decided to go with something a little different for a V-day dessert this year.Ĭlementines are in season, and they are totally yummy. There’s a lot of red, and a lot of hearts, and lots of strawberries. When Valentine’s day rolls around, there are a lot of desserts to choose from.
