Directions

  1. Thoroughly rinse the glasses and lids, then rinse them carefully and place them upside down on a kitchen towel to drain. ≈ 2 min
  2. Squeeze an orange using a citrus juicer. ≈ 3 min
  3. Add the juice and lemon juice to the sugar mixture to create a gel that can be stored in a jar.
  4. Place this liquid on the stove and bring it to a boil quickly.
  5. Once the mixture thickens (approximately 3-4 minutes), remove the foam that forms several times with a spoon. Then, check if the mixture passes the “gel test,” which involves placing a small amount of the mixture on an inclined plate and observing whether it flows completely and in a very thick manner, like very thick lava.
  6. As soon as this happens, remove the pot from the heat. ≈ 3 min
  7. Mix the Calvados with the jelly. ≈ 4 min
