Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 seedless oranges
1 bottle (750 ml) light-bodied red wine (recommended: Beaujolais or a young Chianti)
2 cups brewed cinnamon or other spiced tea
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
2 star anise pods
6 black peppercorns
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 fresh mint leaves, julienned

Steps:

  • Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange to expose the flesh. Cutting from top to bottom, following the contours of the orange, completely remove the peel and white pith. Discard the peel and set the oranges aside. In a saucepan, combine all of the remaining ingredients except the mint leaves. Heat to a simmer. Add the whole peeled oranges and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, turning the oranges every 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature in the liquid, turning occasionally. Chill. To serve, cut each orange crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the slices, overlapping them, on small serving plates. (The outsides of the oranges will be redder than the insides.) Drizzle a little liquid over each plate and sprinkle with mint.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but the oranges never softened.

This recipe was a disaster! The oranges were tough and the red wine sauce was too acidic.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who loves sweet and sour dishes.
