Method
Prepare the oranges
- Wash the oranges and cut them in half.
- Using a juicer, extract the juice carefully without breaking the peel, as it will serve as the container for the custard.
- With a spoon, remove any remaining pulp from inside the peels to leave them clean. Set the peels aside.
Prepare the juice
- Strain the juice to remove any remaining pulp.
- Add the sugar to the strained juice (for every 4 cups of juice, use 1 cup of sugar). Mix well and set aside.
- Take a small amount of the juice and dissolve the 4 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch in it. Mix well until no lumps remain.
Cook the custard
- In a medium saucepan, heat the juice over high heat until it begins to boil.
- When boiling, add the cornstarch and juice mixture and stir constantly until thickened.
CiberCuba
Serve
- Fill the orange peels with the thickened mixture.
