Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 oranges
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dry white wine, or water
1 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds, (optional)
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Using a sharp paring knife, peel oranges following the curve of the fruit, and remove as much bitter white pith as possible. Slice oranges into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; place in a large bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water, sugar, wine, and anise seeds, if using, to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until liquid reduces to 1/2 cup, about 25 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup; stir in lime juice and zest. Pour over oranges.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
