Poached oranges are excellent by themselves,
and great on a slice of pound cake as well.
Poached Oranges
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
6 navel oranges
- Peel the oranges with a sharp knife. Be
sure to cut through the pith so that the orange is completely
peeled.
- Place the oranges in a saucepan with the
sugar, honey and 1/3 cup of water. Cover, bring to a boil, and
simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove the oranges to a serving
dish.
- Cook the syrup down to 1/3 cup, and pour
the syrup over the oranges. When cool, sprinkle the oranges with
1 or 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur.
Makes 6 servings.
