August 18, 2018 – Sweet Korčula, an island with a seemingly endless supply of fabulous traditional home-made cakes and desserts. We are very grateful to Franica Tasovac for allowing us to serialise her excellent books called Sweet Korcula, Sweeties of Korcula Grannies (in English). It is a collection of no less than 30 ancient recipes for Korcula cakes and desserts, lovingly put together into a book. A delightful souvenir or gift for gourmet friends. Franica has kindly allowed us to serialise the recipes on TCN, and we will be bringing you a recipe a week from the kitchens of Korcula’s grandmothers throughout the year. You can read Claudia Tarle’s lovely introduction here.
The best is to do a small amount because the sugar will then nicely catch the orange peel.
100 g of orange peel
100 g sugar
1 tablespoon water
Cut orange peel into long strips and put in water two to three days. The water should be changed every day.
Pour the sugar, orange peel and water into the wider and shallower pot. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. When the liquid evaporates one needs to stir constantly until the sugar around the orange becomes white.
Dump out arancini on wax paper and spread them to cool down.
