Spoon sweets - Green Bitter Orange

Version A 
Remove the seeds and the membranes from the fruit using the special tool and rinse them. Boil them for five minutes and change their water to cold water. On the same day, change the water two more times without boiling them again. On the following day we repeat the same procedure. On the third day, we boil the fruit and wait for the skin to soften. When they are cool, scrape the skin lightly with a knife to clean them. On the fourth day, boil the fruit to cook properly. Pierce them with a needle and when they fall off easily they are ready. Drain them and let them cool. Place them in a pot and add the sugar and water. Leave them for 2-3 hours until the sugar dissolves. Then boil them for about 10 minutes and set aside.. On the following day, boil them again over high heat until the syrup is ready. Just before the syrup thickens, add the lemon juice and bring to a boil for another 1-2 minutes. Fill the jars, cap them and turn them upside down for 3 minutes. (MANRE 2009, 13)

Version B 
Boil water with a detergent. Add the fruit and let them boil in the water until the skin is soft and the peel comes off when rubbed. Let them cool and with the help of a knife remove the peel by rubbing it. Using a special tool, remove the seeds inside. Rinse them and put them in a pot with cold water and boil them. Remove from the heat and leave them in the water until morning. Drain the water and put fresh cold water to cover them. Leave them for 5-6 days while changing the water 1-2 times a day. Then, boil them, pour the water out and add cold water. Repeat 2-3 times, so that their taste is not bitter. Cover them with water and let them cook very well. Success depends on proper cooking. Drain them and pour cold water over them. Put them in a clean pot and add the sugar, 1 cup of water and the lemon juice and allow the sugar to dissolve overnight. On the following day, boil them until the syrup is ready. Remove them from the heat, cover the pot with a towel and leave them until the next day. On the following day, boil them again until the syrup is ready. Once they have cooled down, transfer them to glass jars and store. Follow the same recipe for green lemon spoon sweet.
