Clementine Recipe Easy

CLEMENTINE OLD FASHIONED

Steps:

• Strain clementine juice into an old fashioned glass. Add bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add ice, stir to chill, and serve.

DAD'S CLEMENTINE MACCARITA

Steps:

• To salt the rims of two glasses, use the 1/2 lime to wipe around the rim of each glass. Pour out a generous 6-inch line of salt. Roll the outside rim of each glass along the salt line to lightly salt the outside rim of the glass (not the inside or it will make your cocktail too salty when you take the last sip).
• Pour the tequila, Cointreau, triple sec, clementine juice and lime juice into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice. Shake for 20 seconds until your hands get cold.
• Strain into the prepared glasses and drink responsibly.

CLEMENTINE CAKE

Steps:

• Put the clementines in a pot with cold water to cover, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Then finely chop the skins, pith, and fruit in the processor (or by hand, of course).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Beat the eggs. Add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder. Mix well, adding the chopped clementines. I don't like using the processor for this, and frankly, you can't balk at a little light stirring.
• Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, when a skewer will come out clean; you'll probably have to cover the cake with foil after about 40 minutes to stop the top from burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, in the pan on a rack. When the cake is cold, you can take it out of the pan. I think this is better a day after it's made, but I don't complain about eating it anytime.
• I've also made this with an equal weight of oranges and lemons, in which case I increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups and slightly Anglicize it, too, by adding a glaze made of confectioners' sugar mixed to a paste with lemon juice and a little water.

CLEMENTINE-VANILLA-BEAN QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan. Zest 4 clementines to yield 1 tablespoon zest. Juice 2 zested clementines and 6 remaining unzested clementines to yield 3/4 cup juice. Cut pith from 2 remaining zested clementines. Slice fruit along membranes to release segments into a bowl; discard membranes and any seeds.
• Combine 1/4 cup clementine juice, the cream, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
• Beat zest, butter, 1 cup sugar, and the vanilla seeds with a mixer on medium speed until combined, about 4 minutes. With machine running, add eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low, and beat flour mixture into butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
• Fold clementine segments into mixture, and pour into pan. Gently smooth top using an offset spatula.
• Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Meanwhile, bring remaining 1/2 cup clementine juice and 1/4 cup sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Remove bread from oven, poke top all over with a skewer, and brush with half the clementine syrup. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool for 15 minutes. Invert pan to remove bread. Let cool completely on wire rack, top side up.
• Brush remaining clementine syrup onto sides and again on top of bread.

CLEMENTINE CAKE

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled clementines in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, adding more water as needed. Remove clementines with a slotted spoon and, once cool enough to handle, halve and remove any seeds or other hard bits. Purée in a food processor or blender and set aside. (May be done up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking oil, line bottom with parchment paper and spray paper with oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the sugar, salt and clementine purée. Add the almond flour and baking powder and stir until just combined.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake until edges are golden brown and starting to pull away from sides of pan, about 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack set over baking sheet. After 10 minutes, run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake; remove cake from pan. Peel off parchment paper and return cake to wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with dusting of powdered sugar, or with chocolate glaze and/or candied clementines.

CANDIED CLEMENTINES

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the sugar with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the clementine slices, reduce heat to simmer, and place a piece of parchment paper over top of liquid to keep clementines submerged. Simmer 2 hours, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Lay a Silpat mat or parchment paper on a baking sheet, place clementine slices in a single layer on top (making sure they lie flat), then cover with a second mat or layer of parchment and top that with a second baking sheet. Put in oven and bake for 1 hour, then remove from oven. (Reserve citrus-infused syrup in refrigerator for cocktails or other uses.)
• When cool enough to handle, remove top baking sheet and carefully peel away top mat or parchment. Carefully lift and peel the candied citrus slices and set aside until ready to use.

CLEMENTINE CAKE

Steps:

• Wash and remove stems from clementines, cut into quarters, process clementines with sugar in food processor until smooth.
• Add butter, then eggs; process until smooth Add flour,baking powder, process until combined.
• Spoon into greased 8-cup bundt pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees approximately 50 minutes, until golden (depends on your oven). Cool on rack 10 minutes, then remove cake from pan and leave on the rack until cold.
• Icing:.
• Grate rind and squeeze juice from the clementine.
• Measure 2 tsp rind and 2 tblsp juice into a bowl, add butter, icing sugar and liqueur.
• Mix until icing is smooth.
• Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake.

CLEMENTINE CURD

Steps:

• Strain all of the eggs through a sieve into a large heatproof bowl. Add the cornflour and caster sugar and whisk until smooth. Pour the clementine and lemon juice through the sieve into the bowl to catch any pips, then stir through the clementine zest and cubes of butter.
• Set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, and cook for 20-25 mins, stirring continuously until the curd has thickened, forms a glossy coating on the back of the spoon and leaves a trail when you drag your finger through it.
• Pour the curd into two 324ml sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and cool. Keep in the fridge and use within two weeks.
