1 candied zest recipe (below)

Candied zest

For panna cotta:
In a small bowl, pour cold water over gelatin and set aside. Bring milk, half-and-half and honey to a boil. Add vanilla extract and pour over gelatin mixture. Whisk to dissolve and pour into serving dishes. Refrigerate to set. Garnish with tangerine segments and zest.

For candied zest:
Using a peeler, remover zest from tangerines and slice as thinly as possible. Blanch twice, beginning in cold water and bringing the water to a boil. Dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup water, add blanched zest and allow to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
