📝 Preparation Steps
1
Slice 6 large seedless mandarin oranges (about 1½ lb.), peeled, ½" thick across the equator (about 3 slices per fruit); transfer to a 3-qt. heatproof dish.
large seedless mandarin oranges (about 1½ lb.), peeled6(400 g) sugar2 cups
2
Combine 2 cups (400 g) sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan, cover, and heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 4–⏱️ 7 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring or swirling pan occasionally, until syrup boils, then turns a deep brown color, 12–⏱️ 18 minutes. Remove from heat and gradually add 1 cup water (stand back—mixture will spatter and seize). Set pan over low heat and cook, stirring often, until caramel is completely dissolved, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.
3
Pour caramel over mandarin orange slices (they should be mostly submerged). Cover dish with a plate or plastic wrap and chill until very cold, at least ⏱️ 2 hours and up to 2 days.
4
Melt 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add ½ cup sliced almonds and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 4–⏱️ 8 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, season with a pinch of kosher salt, and toss to combine. Let cool.
