Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 large seedless oranges
7 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 sprig fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all the white membrane. Cut the oranges into half-inch> to three-quarter-inch-thick slices. Place the slices in a saucepan with the sugar and water. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer gently for five minutes.
  • Carefully remove the orange slices from the syrup and place them in a serving dish. Cook the syrup to reduce it to approximately a half cup and pour it over the oranges.
  • When cool or at serving time, sprinkle the oranges with the Grand Marnier. Decorate by placing the mint sprig in the center.
