I’ve just received a couple cases of clementines which are approaching the end of their life.

I’ve never cooked with them, normally I just peel and eat them. I’m not sure if I’m up to the task of eating all these in the next few days. So if you’ve got some tips on something I could do to make them last longer I’m all ears

    I’d probably candy the peels and squeeze+freeze the juices.

    EDIT: jordanlund recommended candying the slices instead. That would also work well. They’re specially great on coca de Sant Joan.

      Huh, I had no idea you could candy just the peel. Do you think that would work okay with a clementine? They are quite thin skinned

      Coca de sant Joan looks like a really interesting dish, rather exotic

        It works well, specially with thinner peels - the syrup penetrates faster, and the peel gets a bit thicker after candied.

        Coca is delicious, and I heavily recommend. I typically prepare it with candied fruits and an egg-based cream, but if you want you could do it with the candied clementine slices alone.

          I absolutely love coca but I’m confused about the taste, it always makes my mouth numb.
