sweetened orange juice


Explanation:


Lisa,
I was browsing some coca boba recipes, and some of them boil the sugar and orange juice to then pour it or "sprinkle" it on the cake.

This is the best I can come up with...

I think it's some kind of frosting, actually...

Now that you've added that note, I'm totally sure it's sweetened orange juice with zest and all, which is then caramelized, dried up and then made "sugar" as in a pepper mill!

Of course, THEN you can "speinkle" it....

agree  Sonia Gomes: I think that is the correct translation, there is a recipe in my native Goa that calls for the same thing
2 mins
  -> thanks, Sonia!!
disagree  Sarah Brenchley: Orange juice is liquid, what the recipe is asking for is something dry that is milled (like sugar). Note: I am merely disagreeing with the answer you proposed - not made with orange juice but with a water/sugar syrup. No need to take it to heart.

orange sugar


Explanation:
Put the zest of one orange in a food processor with 2 to 3 cups of sugar. Grind it up. Result: **orange sugar**. Use in it...well, just about anything. Any basic cake or cookie recipe is now an orange cake or orange cookie recipe. Use it with duck, glazed ham, cranberry sauce, you name it.

For biscuits:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and orange peel in small bowl, mashing peel with back of spoon until mixture is pale orange.
Whisk flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture forms coarse meal. Add 2/3 cup milk; stir with fork until dough is evenly moistened, adding more milk by tablespoonfuls if dry. Drop dough by 1/3 cupfuls onto prepared sheet, forming 8 mounds and spacing 1 1/2 inches apart. Using fingertips, flatten each biscuit to 2-inch round. Sprinkle with **orange sugar**.

ground candied orange peel


Explanation:


The candied orange peels make for fantastic candy in and of themselves. The resulting sugar offers itself for a miriad of recipe possibilities, which are scheduled to come up this week…

Candy Orange Sugar Candy Orange Sugar

In a saucepan combine:

* 1 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup water
* juliened orange peel from four oranges- no white stuff attached

Stir to help begin dissolving the sugar, then let the heat do the rest of the work.

Bring the mixture to a boil and gently simmer for 20 minutes.

Let cool and spoon the orange zest into a strainer. Let the orange flavored sugar syrup drip off (bottle this up and use to sweeten your summer iced teas,coffees, and sorbets) , and move the strainer of zest to hover over a piece of wax paper. Spoon granulated sugar over the syrupy zest while fluffying the zest with chopsticks. Continue to sugar and fluff till the zest bits are adequately coated and not too clumped up. Return the excess sugar, and spread out the sugared zest strips on the wax paper. Allow to dry at room temperature for 1-2 hours, depending on humidity.

When the zest is dry it will feel almost brittle in texture. Take a couple spoonfulls and grind to a powder in a spice dedicated coffee grinder. Don’t have a dedicated coffee grinder? Just make sure to
