Marsala Oranges

Type: Fruit
Courses: Dessert
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Navel oranges
2 cups 474mlMarsala or madiera wine
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozSugar

Recipe Instructions

Using a vegetable peeler, remove thin layers of peel from the oranges in strips, avoiding the bitter-tasting white membrane. Cut enough of the peel into very thin 2-inch long strips to make 3 tablespoons. Using a sharp knife, remove and discard the remaining peel and white membrane from the oranges. Place oranges in a large bowl; set aside.

For sauce, in a medium saucepan combine the orange peel strips, marsala and sugar. Bring orange peel mixture to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until orange peel mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups.

Cool to room temperature. Pour over oranges, coating each orange. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving time, up to 24 hours. Serve the oranges, whole or halved with the sauce ladled atop.
