Oranges in Spiced Honey
- 4 oranges
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- Cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Serving suggestion: toasted waffles, pancakes or French toast
- Zest one of the oranges and set the zest aside.
- Working with one orange at a time, cut a 1/4 inch off of the bottom and top of an orange.
- Stand the fruit cut-side down on a cutting board, and working from top to bottom, cut away the peel and pith.
- Working over a bowl, cradle the orange in one hand and cut along both sides of each membrane through to the center, releasing the segments into the bowl.
- (If you can't get whole segments, that's okay.)
- Squeeze the remaining membrane over a second bowl to release any juices; add the juices that have collected with the orange segments.
- Repeat with the remaining oranges.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet.
- Stir in the cinnamon stick and a pinch of cayenne and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Add the orange juice, zest and honey and bring to a simmer.
- Cook, uncovered, swirling occasionally, until the liquid thickens to a glaze, about 7 minutes more.
- Add the orange segments and cook until just warmed.
- Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
- Spoon over toasted waffles, pancakes or French toast.
