-
1 1/2 cups water
-
1 cup sugar
-
1/4 cup ginger thinly sliced peeled
-
4 green cardamom pods
-
3 whole star anise
-
6 clementines or mandarin oranges
-
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
Recipe Method
1. Bring water,
sugar,
ginger,
cardamom, and
star anise to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let steep, covered, 15 minutes. Strain syrup through a sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
3. Cut peel from clementines, including all white pith, with a sharp knife, then cut fruit into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and put in a serving bowl.
4. Add syrup and chill, covered, at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds (if using).
Cook’s notes:
1. Syrup can be chilled up to 2 weeks.
2. Fruit can be chilled in syrup up to 1 day.
