CARAMELIZED ORANGES
Another splendid recipe from Ontario's Liquor Control Board. This reads long ... but is essentialy only 2 steps ... is easy to prepare in advance ... and each orange looks wonderful in its own glass dessert bowl. (I did this with clemantines and served them with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.)

Steps:
- Place cold water in a heavy-based saucepan, add the sugar and bring SLOWLY to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- (The sugar must be completely dissolved before the liquid boils.) Once the sugar is boiling, DO NOT STIR.
- Continue to boil.
- Use a pastry-brush dipped in water to wash down any sugar crystals forming on the sides of the pan, until the sugar is a rich, dark, caramel colour.
- Remove from heat and CAREFULLY add the warm water to the caramel WHICH WILL SPIT AND SPLUTTER!
- Return pan to the heat and continue stirring to dissolve the caramel in the water.
- Set aside to cool.
- Peel all the oranges, setting the peel of one aside.
- (Remove as much of the white pith as possible.) Place the peeled oranges in a bowl and pour over the caramel sauce, gently turning the fruit to cover each with sauce.
- Chill well.
- Cut the served peel into matchstick-sized pieces and cook until tender in boiling water.
- Refresh in cold water and drain.
- Sprinkle half the cooked zest over the oranges in the bowl and stir.
- Serve each chilled orange with the sauce and garnish with additional zest.
- Serves 6.
