chez gorgeoux: vanilla ice cream with candied orange Tweet

I cooked these candied oranges (with lots and lots of cloves, cinnamon, and brandy) on December 30th last year, while preparing for a multi-course meal with four family members as guests. It was an attempt to reproduce a simple, light, flavourful dessert eaten in Lisbon on my birthday, and due to a lack of recipe (not that I follow them when I have them, with the exception of baking), it turned out even better. In the end it was served sandwiched between a biscuit bed and a dark chocolate ganache (except for lactose intolerant Tanya who had the pleasure of eating it as such), but that hardly produced a dent in the industrial quantity I had managed to produce. A large jar of it is supposed to last in the fridge for a month, but I'm hoping for more as tonight we had the first crack at eating a tiny amount next to vanilla ice cream. It's good, it's very good, and it's also in desperate need of being eaten. Or do you suppose I can just freeze it?
