Orange Tian – Pith Free and Strawberry Kiwi

I DON’T like orange marmalade. Apparently my fingers dislike it too, because I continue to misspell ‘marmalade’ in this entry. I’ve had to correct every spelling of it thus far. I had one really bad experience with it and a second ‘sour-face” taste a few months ago. Regardless, I always felt it was worth one more try – kind of like cilantro..hated it the first few times, and now I can’t get enough of the stuff. However, when it comes to marmalade..NO PITH, that’s where I put my foot down because the pith is what makes the stuff so damn bitter. I don’t care how many times you boil and blanch the orange slices when making orange marmalade, it’s still bitter (to me anyway). Many like this, with good reason, but my palate rebels against it. In fact, I don’t like anything orange and jellied/gelled – even orange pates de fruit, orange jelly slices, and/or anything that congeals with orange in it. I think it’s some strange, genetic malfunction, since I love all other fruits (OK – not grapefruit either, but I think it applies to all citrus fruits in general) in jelly or jam form – just not orange.
I’m ranting about orange marmalade because….
The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings. She chose Orange Tian as the challenge for this month, a dessert based on a recipe from Alain Ducasse’s Cooking School in Paris.
Now that I started this entry off on a bright, cheery note *Yes, sarcasm is flashing wildly here*, I’ll explain the beginnings of my aversion to orange marmalade and I’ll try to make this as quick as possible. City girl (me) moves to the suburbs with her family when she’s 9, Her life-long city Dad decides to buy a lawn mower and mow his first lawn. Unfamiliar with said lawn mower, he sticks his hand in running lawn mower when something jams. Former city girl is sitting on the porch around the corner at new friend’s house. City mom and dad come speeding around the corner and stop short, telling me to tell my new friend’s father to watch over my sister and I until they get home. Cool, I get to hang out with my friend and have lunch there, although I’m a leeeeettle concerned about the bloody towel wrapped around my father’s hand.
OK, I’m already pushing the enevlope here – so I’ll get to the point. ‘I digress’ should be tattooed onto my forehead.
Friend’s father makes me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because well, I was in a phase where all I ate for lunch was PB and J sandwiches. He makes it with crunchy peanut butter, which I don’t like, but no biggie, it’s still peanut butter. I can grind down the chopped peanut pieces with my teeth. What came next almost made me spit it out onto the plate. This jellied bite of what tasted like ‘poison’. Bitter to me as a kid was something I always described as tasting like poison. One more bite and I knew I was going to have to bail immediately. Peanut butter and orange marmalade?? This was Peanut BITTER and Jelly, and for a 9-year old kid, no less? OK, he was a nice man and that’s what they liked on their PB and J sandwiches. My palate just wasn’t up to that level yet, and sadly, it never was to be. BTW, Dad was ok, just a few stitches to sort of set things back in place…although in reverse. Touch the left side of his left pointer finger and he feels it on the right, and vice versa.
On to the challenge. Initially, I was going to nix the orange completely and just go with a strawberry kiwi tian, since I made a strawberry-kiwi jam (this was my first time making homemade jams and jellies, and boy did I go nuts. Canning is fun!), but after letting the idea marinate a while, plus the fact that a cardinal rule in Daring Bakers is to execute the challenge to the host’s requirements before running off the beaten path, I dove into orange marmalade land. I used blood and regular oranges in both the tian and marmalade. However, as the title suggests, I cut off all the pith and just used the zest, flesh and juice. I have to admit, the marmalade caramelized nicely, and it tasted a hell of a lot better than marmalade with the pith (I liked it better hot than cooled and fully set), but – I’m still not a fan of orange marmalade..or most orange desserts in general. I like the flavor of orange in some desserts, just not slices or chunks of orange outside of a fruit salad or a peeled fresh orange eaten out of hand. Oh well, I tried.
As mentioned above, I ended up making both an orange tian and a strawberry kiwi tian. However, you can call them both, especially the strawberry kiwi tian, tian’s on steroids. I decided to add a little extra texture and flavor by inserting a disk of chocolate feuilletine beneath the fruit layer of each one. Dark chocolate almond praline for the orange, and white chocolate macadamia praline in the strawberry kiwi. I folded fresh strawberry puree into the soon to be stabilized whipped cream for the strawberry kiwi tian and fresh vanilla bean into the whipped cream for the orange tian. To make the strawberry kiwi tian even more lard inducing..I added a layer of strawberry kiwi pastry cream underneath the fruit. Next time the feuilletine is going in the middle of the cream (notice feuilletine between pastry and whipped cream in the strawberry kiwi tian - fruit stays flat and put) because fruit on top of chocolate,- well, orange supremes on top of chocolate, results in a drippy, sloppy mess after it sits a while. My beautifully arranged topping of orange supremes started falling off and oozing like the tian had a raging case of leprosy. I had to try and fit them back together like a wet, slimy puzzle..ending up with a lumpy, bumpy mess. Still tasted good, though.
Speaking of orange supremes – I cannot supreme (segment between the membranes) an orange to save my life. Doesn’t matter how sharp the knife is..it’s a technique I simply cannot master. I never end up with perfect, pithless half moons of orange – just ripped, pithy, sticky, jagged pieces of ‘I don’t what the eff that is’. Regardless, when you set horribly cut supremes of orange upside down and flat in the freezer, it miraculously looks as if you are the supreme master of supremes, IF you don’t slip a disk of chocolate anything underneath it.
All in all, I really enjoyed this challenge. Thank you, Jen! To see the other beautiful tians by my fellow Daring Bakers, click on the links to their blogs HERE. For the recipe for orange tian, click HERE.
Strawberry Kiwi Jam
1 cup peeled and chopped kiwi, crushed
1 cup hulled, chopped strawberries, crushed
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package no sugar needed or light fruit pectin
2 cups sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare boiling water canner. Wash and heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.
2. Combine kiwi, strawberries, orange juice and lime juice in a large saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Add sugar and return to a full rolling boil that can not be stirred down, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam if necessary.
3. Carefully ladle hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply screw band until fit is tight.
4. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed. If not using immediately or giving as gifts, store jars in a cool. dark place for up to one year. Makes about 4 half pint jars.
Feuilletine Insert
Adapted from Flore from Florilege Gourmand.
3.5 oz (100g) milk or dark chocolate*
1 2/3 Tbsp (25g) butter
2 Tbsp (1 oz / 30g) praline (or bring 1/2 cup of sugar to an amber caramel and spread it on 1/2 cup almonds* and grind until fine)
2.1oz (60g) lace crepes(gavottes) or rice krispies or corn flakes or Special K
DIRECTIONS:
1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Add the praline and the coarsely crushed lace crepes. Mix quickly to thoroughly coat with the chocolate. Spread on a parchment or silpat lined pan and chill until firm.
2. Cut into desired shapes to fit cookie cutter or molds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
*For the strawberry kiwi tian, replace the milk chocolate and almonds with white chocolate and macadamia nuts.

.
Comment by Natalie— March 28, 2010 #
I never liked orange marmalade….until I made Orange Tian ;-p! That marmalade is just perfect (not too bitter).
I love your take on the recipe. Those tian are fabulous!
Cheers,
Rosa

I’m a recent (just this challenge) convert to orange marmalade, and I can understand your aversion to it. Your strawberry kiwi tian looks amazing! It’s so pretty with all those colors! And it looks yummy too!
Comment by chef_d— March 28, 2010 #
Your versions look wonderful! I think I’d have been traumatized too if I had unsuspectingly been given a PB&J with marmalade…..
Comment by Laura— March 28, 2010 #
Wow both of them look amazing! Thanks for sharing the story about your aversion to marmalade. I think I would have been the same way if I was served PB&marmalade! I have a friend that eats marmalade and cheese sandwiches all the time. I’ve never had the courage to try it.
Comment by bakingaddict— March 28, 2010 #
Hello my friend!

Oh waouw, what’s amazing challenge :O ?
Nice, very inventive, i like this !
Your pictures are soooo beautiful ♥
Comment by Veganpower— March 28, 2010 #
Bravo Lisa. I really love the colour of the strawberry kiwi version. I’m not a marmalade fan either and I can’t say I’m converted. Love the sound of the added chocolate, yum!
Comment by shaz— March 28, 2010 #
Wow…all the shapes and the colours bet they taste amazing
Comment by Zita— March 28, 2010 #
You have a brilliant idea there to do a tian on steroids! It’s just so darn cute!
Comment by trissalicious— March 28, 2010 #
Both your tians are awesome, but I absolutely adore the strawberry kiwi one. It looks extremely yummy! Excellent job on the challenge!
Comment by ap269— March 28, 2010 #
There u are ….i was so waiting for Lisa’s Orange Tian….coz i knew that i would be exposed to some super delicious good looking moments with loads of arty effects too ….and well i was wrong
((
Coz u way way excelled that…..right from ur little Lisa story to ur combis to ur presentations
)))
But then u plating is always super arent it?
Comment by sugar plum fairy— March 28, 2010 #
You know last year,maybe around may ,if aint mistaken or before that:-))) ,when i didn know what blogs were and neither had one ,i was baking eclairs and wanted to improve my skills…
)))
)))
)))
i didn have a laptop then and used to browse on moms cell which was more with me than her
And then this write up i came across ,totally not only completed my research and but ended it ….it was like my htoughts put across as well as combis that totally impressed me …
I didn know what daring bakers was but i though the ”challenge” was something like iron chef and the amazing gurl writing this with super combis had to be genuis…and she didn like the PH recipe but loved her ”original” and the reasons she stated matched with mine
I have lost that link but i think i found it again….i think it was u Lisa and i dont know why but am sure and am going to look around ur blog for that
Am i right?
Comment by sugar plum fairy— March 28, 2010 #
Lisa–Fabulous job as always! Visually stunning and so creative in terms of flavor and construction. Both the orange and the strawberry kiwi tians look awesome. Great story, too, about the marmalade (I have a story, too, about strawberry jam and a horrible incident on Passover . . . but that is a long story . . .). I had issues with the marmalade and ended making a second batch with just the pulp (and no pith!)
Comment by pragmaticattic— March 28, 2010 #
Your sugar work is absolutely gorgeous and your tians look delicious! Did you happen to use the “folk heart” cutter for your heart shapes? It’s one of my favorites.
Comment by jfochek— March 28, 2010 #
You bet I do..it’s my favorite cutter, hands down.. perfectly demonstrated by three other Daring Bakers entries (Flourless Chocolate Cake, Vols-Au-Vents, and Dobus Torte) in which I used it!
Comment by lisamichele— March 28, 2010 #
As soon as I saw your sugar curls my thoughts went straight to “asbestos fingers”. Hee-hee!
As usual you did a wonderful job and went past what was required!

Beautiful work! Loved reading your story about the PBitterJ sandwich, I love marmalade but would not pair it with peanut butter at all!
Comment by Laura— March 28, 2010 #
Marmalade and PB does NOT sound good! I love your story! Next time I make marmalade (if there is a next time), I’ll definitely exclude the pith. It wasn’t terrible, but I wasn’t a huge fan of it in this dessert. Your tians look outstanding, and I love your commentary!
Comment by Jeanne— March 28, 2010 #
Kiwi strawberry! GOR_GE_OUS my dear…looks AMAZNIG
Comment by Evelyne@CheapEthnicEatz— March 28, 2010 #
They both look fabulous, and I bet the strawberry kiwi version tasted great
Comment by crumbsoflove— March 28, 2010 #
One day we really have to sit down and share childhood stories! I can never imagine anyone eating peanut butter and bitter orange marmalade sandwich much less serve it to a kid! Ouch! And poor dad, I hope he was ok (it reminds me of the story of my dad and the hedge trimmer….) Your tian are stunning, pith or no pith (and I used to hate bitter orange marmalade but I have come to love it sometimes in some places and weirdly enough I couldn’t get mine bitter to save my life so I have a jar of boring, bland marmalade). Your blood oranges are GORGEOUS!!! and give that Tian a killer color – too sexy! And the strawberry kiwi tian is divine. Now I want to make this dessert again!
Comment by Jamie— March 28, 2010 #
The orangetien looks outrageous. Would love to taste the strawberry kiwi my mouth is watering for it. Well done again your visualization and photos always turn out great!
Comment by Dan— March 28, 2010 #
Aww, sorry to hear that you weren’t a fan of the marmalade, and i can totally understand your disgust when he handed you a peanut bitter and jelly…. lol! But your tian came out beautiful, great job on the challenge!
Comment by angelica— March 28, 2010 #
Oh.. I love the kiwi and strawberries one.. beautiful .. so colorful
Comment by Natalie— March 28, 2010 #
These look spectacular! I used to have an aversion to macaroni salad because of a bad babysitting situation growing up, but I finally started eating it again. Hehe.
Comment by Jenny— March 28, 2010 #
WOW, I’m speechless(almost)…the Strawberry-kiwi is PHENOMENAL!!! It looks beautiful AND I’m sure it’s delicious! Amazing, as usual:)
Comment by Sue— March 28, 2010 #
WOW. The strawberry-kiwi sounds and looks absolutely mouthwatering. And I am with you – I liked the marmalade warm and just-made better than when it was technically all set and done… but always good to try something new, right? Absolutely beautiful job with the challenge.
Comment by Shelley— March 28, 2010 #
Your strawberry kiwi tian loos delicious! It makes me want to make my tian all over again just to try your combination!
Comment by Stephanie— March 28, 2010 #
Wow!!! Your tian are gorgeous–I can’t decide which I like more: the brightly-coloured strawberry kiwi one, or the orange chocolate one with the beautiful sugar curls. Amazing:) Glad your marmalade turned out, but too bad you still don’t like it. I think I’d be traumatised too, based on your story. Oh, and I can’t spell the ‘m’ word either–takes me 3 tries every time.
Comment by Mary— March 28, 2010 #
Lisa- you are a master! As usual a homerun- out of the ball park, up to the moon. Very delicious. Beautiful combinations. You always wow me.
Comment by Lori— March 28, 2010 #
They all look unbelievably amazing!! Great job!
Comment by outoftheoven— March 28, 2010 #
As ever I’m gobsmacked by your efforts. You always seem to come up with the most creative, most beautiful take on a challenge. That strawberry and kiwi fruit tian looks the stuff of dreams. Stunningly beautiful. All those extra components sound .. WOW.
I enjoyed reading your post too. Glad your dad was okay! Marmalade and peanut butter does sound horrendous, but then I’m only just coming round to marmalade. I’m adjusting to the bitterness, but I’m might go pith-free next time, like you.
Comment by Suz— March 28, 2010 #
The strawberry-kiwi tian is the pretties one I’ve seen so far. I didn’t participate (again) because this dessert didn’t appeal to me at all. Also, I knew how to make all of the components, so it wasn’t a challenge. Nevertheless, I like the fact that I can still see what you all have done. Your tians are so beautiful. I love the decorations on the orange one. You did a FANTASTIC job.
Comment by mangiodasola— March 28, 2010 #
Your strawberry kiwi tian looks amazing! It makes me want to get up and try the whole thing over again just to try your flavor combination!
Comment by Stephanie— March 28, 2010 #
You had me laughing at your mis-adventures with this challenge. NOt fair, I know, but then you shouldn’t write such funny posts!
Your Tian looks good inspite of it all. The kiwi strawberry topped one loooks amaqzing.
Btw, I’m one of those “weird” ones who likes peanut bitter sandwiches. LOL
Comment by Aparna— March 28, 2010 #
I don’t like how bitter orange marmalade is either. In fact, I just made an orange-semolina cake that had marmalade, but I didn’t want bits of orange-y pith in the cake, so I strained it!
That said, your tians are beautiful and I love the look of your strawberry kiwi jam with the little black dots in it from the kiwi!
Love your story about your disdain for orange marmalade, you always make me laugh!
Comment by Katrina— March 28, 2010 #
sensational take. i love coming here to see all the extravagant ideas you come up with and this is awesome! well done!
Comment by Meeta— March 29, 2010 #
OMG your tians are amazing! I love the colours of the strawberry and kiwi fruit one on steriods!
Comment by Marcellina— March 29, 2010 #
Beautiful job on this, it was a terribly involved recipe and you excelled yourself. They look amazing.
I happen to love marmalade, but not with peanut butter… yuck.
*kisses* HH
Comment by Heavenly Housewife— March 29, 2010 #
The strawberry kiwi tian looks incredible! The colours are just gorgeous, awesome job Lisa!
I actually prefer marmalade to jams, I find it less sweet, and thankfully I’ve never come across a bitter marmalade, but still, I avoid both, just too sweet for me.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to sit out on this challenge for the first time, the new job kinda put a spanner in my cooking and baking works, lol.
Lovely pics!
Comment by MandyM— March 29, 2010 #
Good for you for trying the orange version and the strawberry one looks fantastic! I failed to do this months I’m afraid.
Comment by Esther— March 29, 2010 #
Wow, those both look absolutely gorgeous! I bet that strawberry kiwi tian tasted divine. Great job!
Comment by Kim— March 29, 2010 #
I love your strawberry kiwi fruit tian. It is definitely the prettiest combination I have seen in this challenge. And you put such a great effort in it..
Besides the look, I believe the taste is very good too…. Excellent!

So…when is your bakery opening? I can’t believe this is the first time I haven’t completed a challenge since I joined. I love your strawberry kiwi tian. Amazing
Comment by Esi— March 30, 2010 #
Beautiful, Lisa. The strawberry kiwi looks so much like Spring, and the sugar curls make the orange tian so classy and gorgeous! I wasn’t a fan of marmalade either, but I did like the taste of the blood oranges.
Comment by Denise @ There's a Newf in My Soup!— March 30, 2010 #
A master piece my friend you rock…
truely amazing Tians love the all the colors and flavours you used…
very creative sugar curls … photos are awesome….
you did an amazing job Lisa.
Comment by nameArlette— March 30, 2010 #
Feuilletine – now why didn’t I think of that? Oh, wait, it’s because I have no idea how to make it. Or at least, I didn’t until you shared the recipe with us! Thank you!
As usual, your post is entertainment incarnate, and your variations are spectacular! It all looks so refeshing and colourful! I actually did take part in this month’s challenge, but I posted very, very late…
Comment by Valerie— March 30, 2010 #
They are gorgeous! Great idea to add the feuilletines. Also the fresh vanilla bean for the orange tian. I grew up with orange marmalade on toast with tea…very Irish or something. Never tried the segmenting thing before, so that was the challenge part. Won’t be doing it again soon either…too time consuming… lol…like the rest is quick and easy. Guess I just don’t like the drippy juice.
Comment by elle— March 30, 2010 #
Beautiful job, as always! The strawberry kiwi looks fantastic – it reminds me of an ice cream sandwich for some reason! Great job!!
Comment by Jenni— March 30, 2010 #
Wow…that strawberry kiwi version looks fantastic! I wasn’t a big fan of the marmalade either. I didn’t like the stuff in it…just make the texture too tough.
Comment by Claire— March 30, 2010 #
I enjoy your writing. You have very vivid memories associated with orange marmalade.
Your orange and strawberry/kiwi tians look like works of art. Absolutely beautiful!

Very cool, I love the kiwi strawberry tian! I’d offer to help you with your supremes, since that is one thing I seem to have mastered, but I dont know your location!
Comment by Jenny— April 2, 2010 #
What a pair of delicious tians. Well done on this challenge Lisa. Amazing, as always. I love the kiwi and strawberry version, but I’m a massive fan of marmalade so was happy to go with the straight orange myself!
Comment by Julia @ Mélanger— April 4, 2010 #
Thank you so much for your nice comment on my orange tian post.
Your Tians are unbelivable.. especially the stawberry-kiwi one… I can’t stop looking at your pictures.. such nice colors and shapes! Very tasty for the eyes!
I’m glad I found out about your blog.. well thank to you ^-^ … will come back for sure!

Funny, I’m not usually big on citrus desserts either but the Daring Bakers challenges are always so interesting that I can’t help but want some!
Comment by Maris (In Good Taste)— April 6, 2010 #
Ohhh…if there’s only one jam/jelly that I can have, it’d be marmalade!
I LOVE marmalade…and my son too…but not my husband nor my daughter! 
Anyway, love your pics….the sugar curls…that’s amazing!! And the patter on your strawberry/kiwi tian looks so beautiful!
Comment by Jenny Tan— April 6, 2010 #
All I can say is WOOOWOWOWOW. Standing ovation for you. I am dumbfounded at your “attempts”. What triumphs. I am like you with the orange in desserts, yet, just back from the Burough Market in London, I have tasted – for the first time in my life – outstandingly delicious marmalade. Still, didn’t buy any. What would I do with it? i don’t enjoy it enough to eat it on anything really.
Your desserts are spectacular. I wish I was your neighbour… I wish I had a neighbour that would pop over for tastes and talks… like neighbourhoods used to be. Ah, well. Now I blog for my neighbourhood coffee.
I will be back to this entry to make some of these goodies, without a doubt! YUM.
Valerie
Comment by A Canadian Foodie— April 6, 2010 #
Wow, your strawberry kiwi tian is so pretty and fibrant in colour! Excellent job on the challenge!
Don’t like the bitterness of regular marmalade either but this marmalade was just delicious, especially used in other desserts.
Comment by linda— April 8, 2010 #
I pretty much refuse to eat PB&J with anything but raspberry jam with seeds… and it must be on toast, not bread.
I would have been horrified to find orange marmalade on my sandwich as well. My mom really likes orange marmalade though, and I remember having it on buttered toast before and enjoying it. It’s not something I think to buy and keep in my house though… or make.
I think your strawberry kiwi tian sounds wonderful and looks absolutely gorgeous!
Comment by Megan— April 8, 2010 #
Another over-the-top great job on this challenge! Feel free to just send any marmalade you don’t want to eat my way.
Comment by Barbara Bakes— April 10, 2010 #
Jesus woman you really went to town with this one! Love the way you plated them!
Comment by clumbsycookie— April 12, 2010 #
Wow, they all look incredible! Bonus points for you this month, plus I’ll throw in a gold star for good measure. Love the strawberry kiwi version.
P.S. I have to say I agree with you 100% regarding orange marmalade, at least the store bought version. Yuck!
Comment by Jacque— April 13, 2010 #
Oh man, I just now am having time to really go back and read older DB posts and got to yours. I so was meh for this challenge cause I too hate marmalade. Never met one that didn’t leave that dry ugh feeling on my tongue from the bitterness. I ditched all the peel on mine as well. I love canning too! And I can’t believe I never thought to do a strawberry kiwi jam! It’s so pretty!
