Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oranges:

    • Carefully peel the oranges thinly, ensuring to remove as much of the pith and white skin as possible while keeping the oranges intact.
    • Using a sharp knife, cut the thin peel into fine strips and cover them with the white wine.
  2. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Assemble the Dish:

    • Place the prepared oranges into an ovenproof dish.
    • Top each orange with a dollop of sweet unsalted butter, pressing it down gently onto the surface.
    • Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over each orange.
  4. Bake the Oranges:

    • Bake the oranges in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes and forms a golden crust.
  5. Prepare the Orange Syrup:

    • While the oranges are baking, in a saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the remaining sugar.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer until it reaches a syrupy consistency, without stirring.
  6. Combine and Thicken:

    • Add the prepared orange peel and wine mixture to the saucepan and bring it to a boil again.
    • Allow the mixture to cook rapidly, reducing and thickening slightly.
  7. Finish Under the Broiler (Optional):

    • Once the oranges are baked, if they are not fully browned, you can place them under a moderate broiler for a few minutes to achieve the desired caramelization.
  8. Flambé with Whiskey:

    • Warm the whiskey slightly and pour it over the baked oranges.
    • Carefully ignite the whiskey using a long match or lighter, allowing the flames to die down naturally over the heat.
  9. Simmer and Serve:

    • As the flames subside, add the prepared orange syrup to the dish.
    • Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 2 minutes, infusing the oranges with the flavors of the whiskey and orange syrup.
    • Serve the Irish Burned Oranges immediately for a warm, comforting dessert, or refrigerate and enjoy them cold for a refreshing treat.

Enjoy your delectable Irish Burned Oranges, and savor every flavorful bite! 🍊🔥
