Instructions:
-
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.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
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.
-
Bake the Oranges:
- Bake the oranges in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes and forms a golden crust.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
