Burnt Oranges (Irish)
- 4 large oranges
- 1/2 cup white wine sweet
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups orange juice
- 2 tablespoons whiskey
- Carefully peel the oranges thinly.
- Then with a sharp knife remove as much of the pith and white skin as possible, keeping the oranges intact.
- Cut the thin peel into fine strips and cover with the wine.
- Put the oranges into an ovenproof dish.
- Put a little butter on top of each one, pressing it down gently, then sprinkle each one with a teaspoon of sugar.
- Put into a 400F (200C) oven for 10 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes.
- Meanwhile mix the orange juice with the sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat and let it get syrupy, without stirring.
- Add the orange peel and wine mixture and bring to the boil again, then cook rapidly to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Take the oranges from the oven and if not fully browned, put under a moderate broiler for a few minutes.
- Pour the warmed whisky over them and set it alight, over heat.
- As the flames die down, add the orange syrup and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Serve at once; or it can be served cold.
