Konfiti Chadek is a traditional Caribbean preserve made from Chadek (also known as Seville orange or sour orange). It’s a sweet and tangy preserve or marmalade that captures the bright, citrusy flavor of the Chadek fruit, often used as a spread or accompaniment. Here's a detailed description:
General Description:
-
Main Ingredient: The primary ingredient in Konfiti Chadek is Chadek, a variety of sour orange with a thick, leathery rind and a tart, aromatic flavor. The fruit is typically more sour than common sweet oranges, and it has a unique, bitter-sweet taste.
-
Preparation: To make Konfiti Chadek, the Chadek fruit is first peeled, and the pulp is separated from the seeds. The peel is often sliced thinly or chopped, and both the peel and pulp are boiled to soften them. Sugar is then added to balance the tartness, and sometimes a little water or juice is used to help with the cooking process. The mixture is cooked until it thickens into a syrupy, jelly-like consistency.
