What can I do with 10 miserably bitter clementines...

[StripeyBear]

I bought some clementines - in Lidl actually. They are bloody horrible. Really bitter and hard to peel to boot.

I don't think they are fit for toddler consumption. I went to Tescos and bought some nice ones instead.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with the nasty ones, other than bin them? I hate to waste them :(

I'd boil them in a sugar syrup, cool and serve with cream or pancakes

Oh yes, I am in the same boat. And mine were from the local fruit shop which is usually v good.
Near impossible to peel and then 'salty' according to DS3 4.10 - I think he means 'sour' or maybe 'bitter'.

I feel your pain, but have no inspired ideas. I was about to fling mine out today... Here's hoping somebody will be along with genius ideas.

Marmalade?

Or, ooh, Nigella's chocolate orange cake, only with clementines.

Have seen this but not tried it...

That clementine cake is SO delicious. I make it a lot.

Marmalade or clementine curd?

oohh thank you - I'm going to try the clementine cake :)

I was going to suggest: Throw them at number 10.

I call it : "Recipe for Disaster".

I made clemencello from mine - a bit like limoncello, delicious straight from the freezer.

Google clemencello recipe, it's a 'Delicious' magazine recipe

Pinky - oddly, I saw that recipe yesterday. Have you made it? Was it nice? How did you serve it - neat or mixed?

peel them (easier if you Blanche them) and bottle in sugar syrup.

Still have some over, so might try the sugar syrup next :)

clemencello - delicious! Served it neat with ice, makes a lovely after-dinner drink. Would be nice with soda water too it you wanted to dilute it. But honestly it doesn't taste that strong! (despite being almost neat vodka)

Well, we've just eaten lovely tangerine clementine cake which was v tasty inspite of having been baked without baking powder and having its top burn to pure carbon . Cut the black layer off, turned cake upsidedown - et voila !
I did not find it a quick cake to make, simple yes, but not fast what with all the boiling 'clementines' and I seperated and whisked the eggs. But yummy, highly recommended, thanks for the suggestion!
