CLEMENTINE CONFIT
In the age-old French tradition of fruit confit, it takes many days and many pounds of sugar to make a whole clementine shimmer like a glass orb, preserving it for many and making it more of a conversation piece than anything you actually might want to eat. This is a decidedly fresher take that requires less sugar and time. Individual segments of the tart citrus take a long, warm oven bath in a light sugar syrup until chewy and translucent. They are a perfect topping for Ginger Chocolate Cake almost any dessert or even a bowl of yogurt, fruit and nuts.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 275 degrees.
- Arrange the clementines in a single layer in a small baking dish that fits them snugly. Heat sugar and 1/2 cup/120 milliliters water in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the clementines, stirring gently to coat.
- Bake, stirring every 45 minutes or so, until the segments are slightly translucent and tinged brown on the edges, 2 1/4 to 3 hours. Cool completely. Use immediately or cover and store in the syrup. The clementine confit will last for a week at room temperature.

ORANGE CONFIT
This isn't cooking; it's alchemy. You're taking pretty much everything in the orange except its form and replacing it with sugar, making even the peel edible. It's quite amazing, though it does take time. You can use this technique on all kinds of citrus. Blanching the fruit helps to remove the bitterness of the pith. Think of this as fresh orange candy or sugar in orange form.

Steps:
- Fill a saucepan large enough to hold oranges with water; bring to a boil. Blanch oranges for 30 seconds, then remove, change water and repeat. Carefully quarter oranges through their poles. Return them to saucepan with half the sugar and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook over lowest possible heat, adding water as necessary to keep them covered. Cook for 8 hours, then remove from heat and let sit overnight.
- Drain oranges and repeat process with remaining sugar and water to cover. Oranges are done when very tender but not falling apart, from 1 to 8 hours. Remove pot from heat and let cool, then refrigerate oranges with their syrup. Oranges will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.
- Serve an orange segment with a scoop of chocolate caramel mousse, or with a dollop of whipped cream.
