Caramelized Oranges
- 6 navel oranges
1 cup water
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
Vanilla bean, split
- Strip the orange-only peel from the oranges
with a vegetable peeler. Cut peel into thin strips and place
in a saucepan with the water, sugar and split vanilla bean. Bring
to a boil, then reduce flame to low and simmer slowly for about
an hour until the peel is caramelized. Watch carefully and add
a few extra drops of water if necessary.
- Meanwhile, supreme the oranges (see note),
collecting any juice in a bowl.
- Arrange the segments in a serving dish
with the reserved juice, and cover with the caramelized peel.
Cool before serving.
Makes 6 servings.
Note:
Supreming an orange: Using a paring knife, remove
the skin, pith, and outer membrane from the citrus fruit. Carefully
cut each segment away from white membranes.
