Delicious Clementines

- 12 regular-sized Aconex clementines
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup clementine juice
- 1/2 cup water

- With a vegetable peeler, completely remove the peel from the clementines, trimming off any bitter white pith. Place in a saucepan with sugar, clementine juice and water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and a light syrup forms. Remove from the heat and let cool. Strain.
- Remove remaining peel from clementines and section the fruit. Place the fruit sections in a saucepan. Heat the syrup until almost boiling and pour over the clementines.
- Immediately add warmed liquor to the pan and ignite with a match. When the flame has died down, serve the clementines and syrup.
