Chocolate and Orange
November 30, 2010
If you like the flavor combination of chocolate and orange, did you know you could enjoy it three different ways?
- chocolate-covered orange peel
- chocolate coated orange jelly sticks
- orange flavor-infused chocolate
Perhaps you are already of lover of Terry’s Chocolate Orange, the one that you bang on the counter and sections of chocolate wedges that look like an orange come apart.
Or, you fancy candied orange peel like I do and blogged about last week. Candied orange peel is a treat made from boiling long, thin curls of orange peel in sugar until it turns into something similar to fruit leather. Then it's turned into perfection by coating with a premium dark chocolate.
And then there are orange jellies, aka orange jelly fingers or orange jelly sticks, that are candies made from pectin. These are a little like jelly beans or gummy candies and range from soft textures to hard.
As you already know, my favorite type is the chocolate covered orange peel, but sometimes I am in the mood for orange pectin jellies. I prefer the softer pectin recipes because the orange flavor is released faster and mingles with the chocolate better in my mouth.
Tomorrow, I will post a recipe for candied orange peel and orange jelly candy. This way you can compare the two types, side by side in written form. And, for the more adventurous, an invitation to make and eat!
