Make Homemade Mandarin Orange Slices With Pectinase
Everyone loves the sweet taste and gem-like look of tangerines, and this video will show you how to make them at home. You can even use this technique to make fruit pearls from just about any citrus fruit.
In this video from ChefSteps YouTube, Chef Grant Crilly shows you how to use a little pectinase to turn orange slices into mouth-watering citrus gems. Pectinase is an enzyme that breaks down the pectin, or white matter that coats your orange slices when you peel off , and is easy to buy from Amazon or any restaurant supply store.
If you want to remove that white debris and make tangerine-style orange slices, pour the peeled orange slices into a bowl of water and add a few drops of pectinase. Leave it at room temperature for a few hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, and you’ll have great looking, super tasty orange slices to serve at a party or use as a side dish to quirky cocktails.
