Caramelized Oranges Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 sweet oranges
• 100g sugar
• 200ml water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 clove
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Prepare Oranges:

   • Begin by peeling the oranges and slicing them into rounds, ensuring to remove all the white pith to avoid any bitterness.

2. Arrange Oranges:

   • Place the sliced oranges in a glass dish, arranging them in a single layer for even caramelization.

3. Make Caramel Syrup:

   • In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, cinnamon stick, and clove.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. Caramelize Syrup:

   • Allow the syrup to boil gently, without stirring, until it thickens and reaches a rich caramel color.
   • Keep a close eye on the syrup to prevent it from burning.

5. Remove Spices:

   • Once the syrup has caramelized to perfection, remove the cinnamon stick and clove using a slotted spoon or strainer to prevent them from overpowering the flavor.

6. Pour Over Oranges:

   • Carefully pour the hot caramel syrup over the arranged oranges in the glass dish, ensuring that they are evenly coated.

7. Infuse with Lemon Juice:

   • Drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the caramelized oranges to add a refreshing citrusy note and balance out the sweetness of the caramel.

8. Chill and Serve:

   • Place the dish of caramelized oranges in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
   • This dessert can be served chilled as is or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
