Orange recipes?

[Junior07]

My sister recently brought a new house that has an orange tree. I went and grabbed a bag full because there is that many it’s ridiculous. I’ve made a couple of orange cakes but the recipe only calls for one orange and that is plenty. Is there any good recipes you have that include oranges? I rather baking but could take meal recipes if that’s what ya got. Thanks in advance.

Orange marmalade, and candied orange peels come to mind. I wish I had that problem.

I'm assuming these are sweet oranges, so things like mojo criollo are not going to work.

I make candied orange slices with dark chocolate (80% or higher) for Christmas every year. The process takes several days, but most of my friends and family love them.

I have a recipe for orange chicken, I’m away from home, but I’ll post it for you when I get back home.

if you can't use all of them right away find people who want them and give them away. it sure is a better use than having them spoil. i'm not sure how long oranges can hang on a tree before they will go bad, but it may be enough time to help space things out too.

crispy orange chicken and beef are two of my favorite dishes and i sure wish i had the patience to make them, but we rarely deep fry anything here these days so perhaps that could be something you'd like, but also perhaps there are other methods that work without deep frying and still give good results. i happened to make BBQ chicken thighs yesterday and i love BBQ with citrus in there too, so perhaps you could make either sauces or jams and syrups that can later be used in sauces.

if you have freezer space, squeezing and freezing would use up a fair amount.

Orange Chicken

Ingredients
For the chicken and marinade:

1 pound chicken breast, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons cornflour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water (add more if the batter is very thick)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
For the sauce:

1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup orange juice (add more if you want more sauce)
2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
5 tablespoons water

Directions
In a large bowl, combine the salt, pepper, cornflour, egg, and water. Stir to combine.
Add oil to the mixture and stir to combine.
Combine the chicken with the mixture. Coat the chicken evenly.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour before frying.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
Place coated chicken pieces into the pan gently, using tongs, to avoid splashing oil.
Fry the chicken, flipping each piece every 2 minutes.
Cook until the pieces turn golden brown.
Continue frying the chicken until it's all done. Set aside.

Heat another pan over low heat.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir well. Set aside.
Fry the minced ginger, garlic, and chili flakes for a few minutes.
Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, and cornstarch mixture.
Add the vinegar into the pan and stir to combine.
Add the fried chicken into the pan. Coat the chicken with the sauce.
Remove the chicken from the pan.
Place the chicken in serving bowl or plate. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed white rice.

You can zest the oranges and freeze in small quantities. Juice them and freeze the juice.

I am making marmalade and candied orange slices with dark chocolate today. My kitchen smells so refreshing now.

For the marmalade, I used the very fine orange carpel (is "carpel" the correct term for the pure meat of orange?), sugar, and the oriental beauty oolong tea.

Also the step 1 for making the orange slices.

Not only will it be delicious, it will be beautiful too. I just call the orange meat sections because it pulls apart in sections.
