Burnt Oranges Dessert

submitted by amanda

Serves 4

4 large oranges
1 1/4 cups (300ml or 1/2 pint) orange juice
1/2 cup (125ml or 1/4 pint) sweet white wine
8 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp whiskey
1 Tbsp butter

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (400°F or Gas 6) Thinly peel the oranges, then cut the
thin peel into thin strips and cover with the wine.. Carefully peel the oranges
removing as much of the pith and white skin as possible. Place the oranges in an
ovenproof dish. Add a little butter on top of each one, pressing it down gently,
then sprinkle each with a teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 10 minutes or until the
sugar caramelizes. Mix the fresh-squeezed orange juice with the remaining sugar in
a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and allow it to become syrupy,
without stirring. Add the orange peel and wine mixture and re-boil, cook rapidly
to reduce and thicken slightly. Remove the oranges from the oven and if not fully
browned, place under a moderate grill for a few minutes. Pour the warmed whisky
over and set it alight, over heat. As the flames die down, pour in the orange syrup
and allow to simmer for about 2 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
