I slow cooked a sweet small orange, a lemon and a peeled apple, in sugar water and honey for a long time. This is the orange.
I was trying to make a confit or orange glace I'd seen on a TV show. Not sure of the correct name. It was a family operation in France. They slowly cooked clementines or small oranges in sugar water, then dried them. The end result looked like the orange with a nice shiny glaze. It took a couple of weeks I believe to go through the whole process.
I didn't have the patience to slow cook mine over a period of a couple weeks or to let them dry. Still turned out good though.
The best part was the syrup. The combination of lemon, orange, apple, honey and sugar was good and refreshing. I used the syrup to pep up some warm from the oven Pillsbury Sweet Rolls With Orange Icing. They were good.
