Can I use a different type of citrus fruit instead of tangerines?

Yes, you can substitute with other citrus fruits like oranges, clementines, or even mandarins. The cooking time might need slight adjustments depending on the fruit's size and juice content.

I don't have orange liqueur. What can I use as a substitute?

You can replace orange liqueur with orange juice or a splash of orange extract. Alternatively, a bit of Grand Marnier or Cointreau would also work well.

How long can I store the caramel tangerines, and how should I store them?

Store the caramel tangerines in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor will intensify over time.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian/vegan?

This recipe is suitable for vegetarians. You can easily make it vegan by ensuring that the sugar used is vegan-friendly (some sugars are processed using bone char).

Can I freeze the caramel tangerines?

Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the tangerines might become mushy upon thawing. The caramel can also become grainy.

You can reduce the sugar, but it will affect the caramelization process. Consider using a sugar substitute specifically designed for caramelizing. Start with reducing the sugar by 25% and adjust to your preference.

I don't have pistachios. What else would work well?

Chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans are excellent substitutes for pistachios. You can also use toasted shredded coconut for a different flavor profile.
