MARINATED ORANGES

Marinated Oranges image

This flavorful fruit was actually the topping in a cake recipe. But I didn't want all the calories or fat from the cake-and the oranges are a good dessert all by themselves! The dash of vanilla extract brings out the fruit's sweetness. -Carol Poindexter, Norridge, Illinois
