Spiced oranges

A refreshingly aromatic and fruity dessert. Warming, exotic and sweet. Fresh oranges drizzled with a sauce of honey and spices. Easy to make and quickly prepared.

Goes well with: festive dinners, Sweet potato & lamb curry, Aubergine & pea curry

Ingredients

  • 5 oranges
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Juice 1 orange
  2. Add the juice, honey, water, cinnamon stick and cloves to small saucepan, let simmer for 10 minutes and reduce to syrup like consistency. Stir frequently
  3. Meanwhile peel remaining oranges, use a knife to make sure all white pulp is removed, cut in slices of 1 cm and arrange on 4 plates
  4. Scoop sauce over orange slices, decorate with ground cinnamon and serve (leave cloves and cinnamon stick for decoration, don’t eat)
  5. Alternatively: prepare in advance, store in fridge and serve either cold or warm
