ORANGE PEEL SPOON SWEET - GLYKO PORTOKALAKI
In Greece this candied orange peel is usually served as sweet. If you have nice oranges with thick peel (if possible from the garden and not treated) you should try this instead of dicarding the peel! Enjoy this as a snack, dessert, in cakes or dessert topping. I love this at most as marmelade over bread! Note: you can prepare this sweet with other citrus as grapefruits as bergamot. Or you can mix its!

Steps:
- Wash und rub well the oranges.
- Slice the orange peel in half, then quarters, then eighths - top to bottom. Remove peel in strips (eat the oranges!).
- Cut strips in half, across the width.
- Orange peel, with or without the external part, is bitter. This process removes most of that bitterness without bleaching out the flavor, and softens the peel. Place peel in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, timing from when it starts to bubble.
- Drain in a strainer or colander and rinse under running cold water.
- Repeat step 4 boiling for 3 minutes. Repeat step 5. Total boiling time: 11 minutes.
- Place sugar and water in a saucepan and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add orange peel, return to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes just until the syrup begins to thicken slightly (it should be quite syrupy - but thick enough to coat a metal spoon).
- Stir in lemon juice and remove pan from heat.
- Allow to cool completely before storing in sterilized jars.
- Note. I like to rolls peel strips before cooking them (fixing with a stick) or simply rolling them before placing in the jar.

Steps:
- To prepare this delicious orange peel preserve recipe, first start by preparing the oranges. Using a vegetable grater, trim them a little bit on the outside then wash them thoroughly and place them in a large pan. Pour in enough water to cover the oranges completely.
- Place the pan on high heat and bring to the boil. Boil for about 7 minutes, after the water starts to bubble, sinking the oranges in the water once in a while and turning them sides. Drain the oranges into a collander and cool them under cold running water. Rinse the pan with some water. Place the oranges back to the pan, and repeat the same procedure. You should repeat the boiling procedure 3 times, until the oranges have softened and most of the bitterness has been removed. Go ahead, the best way to know if your orange peel preserve is sweet enough is by giving it a taste!
- Place the oranges onto a cutting board and cut them into quarters and then cut each quarter into half (8 pieces each orange). Use scissors remove the pips and any leftover flesh from the inside of the orange (the white part).
- The essence of this sweet orange peel preserve recipe is nothing else than the syrup. Add 2 1/2 cups of water and 1kg sugar into a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Add the orange peel into the pan and boil for a further 15 minutes. While the oranges boil, some white foam will probably surface on the water. Skim the foam with a spoon each time it develops. Once done, let them rest for at least 8 hours or preferably, overnight.
- The next day, remove the orange pieces from the pan using a skimmer and set aside. Place the pan with the syrup back on the stove on high heat and boil until it thickens. Add the lemon juice, the glucose and the vanilla extract and boil for 1 more minute. Add the orange pieces and continue boiling, until the syrup is very thick and glossy. To check if the syrup for your orange peel preserve is ready, dip a spoon to the syrup and let it drip two drops over the two opposing sides of a plate. If the syrup spreads on the plate you should boil the preserve a little longer; if the drops stand firm the syrup is ready.
- Remove the pan from the stove and let your orange peel preserve cool down. I know it is hard to resist, but this delight is best enjoyed cold! The preserving process has thoroughly pasteurised the preserve and if stored in the right conditions, it can last for the whole winter. The best way to store your orange peel preserve is by pouring it into sterilised glass jars (boil them in some water for a few minutes) and cover when it has cooled down completely. Store into the fridge for 6 to 8 months.
ORANGE SPOON SWEET
From "The World Of Greece: Odyssey" Magazine - May/June 2008 issue. This recipe is for the traditional Greek "Glyko Koutaliou" or "Spoon Sweet." "Syrup-laden baklavas, karydopitta, or even the thicker, cakey ravani-style desserts are served on holidays and special occasions, but the everyday sweet is customarily a spoonful of a glyko koutaliou. To this day, spoon sweets are a traditional offering, literally a sweet welcome for visitors into the Greek home, whether they've come for a chat or on a more formal occasion. Spoon sweets are also served at the village kafeneion, a teaspoon-sized serving on a small dish set before the guest or visitor with a glass of iced water and a cup of strong Greek coffee. Traditionally each household put up their own spoon sweets according to the availability of fruit in season. Sweets were made in small quantities, usually to recipes handed down from one generation to the next." Spoon sweet can be eaten by itself or spooned over yogurt or ice cream. Yield is a guess.
