Quick Mandarine Marmalade

Cover mandarine with water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Put the lid on, and let sit overnight. Drain cooked mandarines, and rinse. Remove stems and slice. Discard seeds and any remaining tough membranes. In a food processor, give a few pulses – add sugar and pectin and pulse a few more times. Transfer orange mixture into a saucepan and cook for 3 minutes; cool and keep refrigerated for up to a month. Can be kept frozen as well.

Syrup

Bring to a boil all ingredients, and add flavoring – Use warm.

Dust with powdered sugar. Almond croissants can be stored in the freezer for weeks. Allow croissants to thaw before baking.

Baking

Bake almond croissants at 350ºF/180ºC for about 18 minutes. Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
