  • Step 1/4

    Peel washed mandarins, trimming and discarding the ends. Cut into thick strips and remove as much white pith possible, then dice each strip and transfer to a small saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Let cook for approx. 5 min., then drain using a fine sieve and return mandarin to the saucepan. Squeeze peeled mandarins using a citrus press. Add juice and some sugar to the pan. Bring to a boil and let cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Place on an oven rack lined with a silicone baking mat and let dry overnight. Once dry, add dark rum and cranberries. Stir to combine, then set aside and let soak.
