Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tight-skinned tangerines, satsumas, or mandarin oranges
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups water
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle.
  • Slice tangerines (including peel) crosswise about 1/4 inch thick. Remove and discard any seeds, then arrange tangerines in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish, overlapping if necessary.
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, then simmer 2 minutes. Stir in wine and lemon juice and return to a simmer. Pour over fruit.
  • Lay a sheet of parchment paper directly over fruit to keep submerged, then poach in oven until tender but not falling apart, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard parchment and cool fruit to warm or room temperature.
