Candied Orange Preparation

Method

Pistachio Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Pistachios

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shelled pistachios onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Season the Pistachios

    In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted pistachios with olive oil and salt. Toss well to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.

Candied Orange Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Orange Zest

    Using a zester or a vegetable peeler, carefully remove the outer skin of the oranges, avoiding the white pith. Cut the zest into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Make the Candied Orange

    In a medium saucepan, combine the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and the zest becomes translucent. Remove from heat and let cool.
