Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 (dessert) servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon anise seeds
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
4 navel oranges

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, water, and anise seeds to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy nonreactive saucepan, washing down any sugar crystals on side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water and stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, gently swirling pan, until mixture is a golden caramel. Reduce heat to low and carefully stir in vinegar (mixture will steam vigorously and caramel will harden). Stir until caramel is dissolved, about 1 minute.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp knife, then slice oranges crosswise. Serve orange slices drizzled with warm sauce.
