Have at least 5 kgs of tangerines what to do with them?

Question

I received a whole box of tangerines and they will rot if I do not find any recipe to consume them. Pls don't be smart and say EAT them because we do yet our consumption is very low. Any dessert or drink recipe will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Make some tangerine curd - it has many uses.

1 cup tangerine juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 tangerines; grated zest only
1/2 lb butter
1 cup sugar
8 egg yolks

Combine the juices, zest, sugar and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Beat the yolks in a bowl until liquid. Beat 1/4 of the boiling liquid into the yolks and return the remaining liquid to a boil over low heat.

Beat the yolk mixture into the boiling liquid and continue beating until it thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

Do not allow the mixture to boil or it will scramble.

Pour into a bowl, cover surface with plastic wrap and chill.

This recipe for tangerine curd makes a delicious filling for cakes and tarts and can also be used as a spread for biscuits, scones or croissants.

Answer 2

TANGERINE LIQUEUR

3 c 80 proof vodka
1 c Water
2 Dozen ripe tangerines
2 lb White sugar
1 Dozen whole cloves
1/2 ts Cinnamon
Wash and peel tangerines. Remove any large pieces of pith remaining on inside of peel. Section tangerines and then cut each section into two or three pieces. Put tangerine pieces and peel in a jar with vodka, water, cinnamon, and cloves. Add white sugar and shake vigorously until sugar is dissolved. Cover. Let mixture set for three weeks, then strain and let the liqueur settle until clear. This usually takes a week or ten days. MMMMM


For the tea-totallers here, relax, this is a great ingredient for recipes.
Also makes a great gift bottled in crystal.

do not refrigerate

you can have these sweets for months
the longer the better

Answer 4

I do love tangerine when in season I eat at list two after each meal. To have so many even for me will be a challenge. To use that amount fast and wisely is easy, to make a tangerin marmalade or jam, then you can enjoy later

Answer 5

Get a nice bottle of rum and put it and the peeled tangerines into a sealed glass container (like the ones they serve Gatorade out of at football games with the spout at the bottom but a nice glass one - sorry - don't know what they're called!). Then Just keep it on your counter top, it will look beautiful. When you want a drink - just pour some out of the spout into a matini shaker with ice, shake and pour into a martini glass and serve! yum!

Answer 6

I love tangerine. My favorite fruit. I could eat the whole 5 kgs.
