How Do You Make Spiced Oranges In Sherry?
• Remove zest from two of the oranges. Use a citrus zester or a sharp vegetable peeler. Make sure that the oranges are well washed before zesting. • Remove the skin and white membrane from all of the oranges. It is easiest to use a knife. The oranges should remain whole and intact. Be careful to cut without making nicks in the flesh. • Put the sherry, sugar, spices and water in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. • Set out the serving dish. Arrange the oranges neatly in the serving dish. • Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick from the syrup. • Pour the syrup over the oranges. Decorate the oranges with the zest removed in Step 1. • Place the dish into the refrigerator to chill for half an hour prior to serving. Serve. Provide an appropriate large serving implement to enable diners to remove an orange each, along with some syrup.
