Candied Tangerines
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 6 tangerines, peeled and separated into segments
- Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and use a paring knife to scrape the seeds and pulp into a medium saucepan.
- Add the vanilla pod, the sugar, and the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, remove all the white veins, or pith, from the tangerine segments.
- Turn the heat down to low and add the tangerines to the syrup.
- Simmer the fruit 3 to 5 minutes, until the tangerines look a little puffy and shiny.
- Strain the mixture over a bowl and discard the vanilla pod.
- Return the liquid to the pan and reduce over medium-high heat until its slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely and gently stir in the tangerines.
