ORANGES IN SPICED HONEY



Oranges in Spiced Honey image

The instructions for prepping the oranges for this pretty syrup are longhand for a simple treat cooks call "supremes": citrus segments that have had their pith and membrane removed. The technique of slicing off the peel works well with melon, pineapple and other thick-skinned fruits too.

Time 25m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 oranges
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small cinnamon stick
Cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons honey
Serving suggestion: toasted waffles, pancakes or French toast

Steps:

  • Zest one of the oranges and set the zest aside. Working with one orange at a time, cut a 1/4 inch off of the bottom and top of an orange. Stand the fruit cut-side down on a cutting board, and working from top to bottom, cut away the peel and pith. Working over a bowl, cradle the orange in one hand and cut along both sides of each membrane through to the center, releasing the segments into the bowl. (If you can't get whole segments, that's okay.) Squeeze the remaining membrane over a second bowl to release any juices; add the juices that have collected with the orange segments. Repeat with the remaining oranges.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet. Stir in the cinnamon stick and a pinch of cayenne and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the orange juice, zest and honey and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, swirling occasionally, until the liquid thickens to a glaze, about 7 minutes more. Add the orange segments and cook until just warmed. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Spoon over toasted waffles, pancakes or French toast.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of the dish, so be sure to select ripe, juicy nectarines, strawberries, and melon.
  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the syrup. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use store-bought orange juice, but be sure to choose a high-quality brand.
  • Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause the sugar to crystallize and the syrup will become thick and gooey. Instead, bring the syrup to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the fruit macerate in the syrup: Macerating the fruit in the syrup allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can macerate the fruit for as little as 30 minutes or for up to overnight.
  • Serve the fruit salad chilled: Chilled fruit salad is a refreshing and delicious summer treat. Serve it on its own or with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This nectarine, strawberry, and melon salad in orange-honey-spiced syrup is a delightful and easy-to-make summer dish. The combination of sweet fruit, tangy syrup, and aromatic spices is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you're serving it as a light dessert, a refreshing snack, or a part of a larger meal, this fruit salad is sure to be a hit.
