Orange Balls (Pallottole dAranci)
6 large oranges, the peel only, cut into strips
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Superfine sugar
1 1/2 cups mixed nuts, finely chopped
Soak the orange peel strips in cold water for 24 hours. Drain; place the peel in a saucepan and cover the strips with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the strips for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft. drain them. Chop the orange peel fine and mix it with the granulated sugar in a saucepan. Stir the mixture slowly over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then continue to cook it for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer.
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. Cool the mixture. Shape it into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll the balls in the superfine sugar and then in the chopped nuts.
Many people do not realize that the snowshoe can be used for a great many things besides walking on snow. For instance, it can be used to carry pancakes from the stove to the breakfast table. Also, it can be used to carry uneaten pancakes from the table to the garbage. Finally, it can be used as a kind of stainer, where you force pancakes through the strings to see if a piece of gold got in a pancake somehow. — Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
