Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oranges
- 500 ml dry red wine
- 100 grams sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 strip orange zest
- 1 strip lemon zest
- 100 ml water
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, and slice them into round slices about 1 cm thick. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, orange zest, and lemon zest.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat to low and let the wine mixture simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Then strain the liquid to remove the spices and zest.
Place the orange slices in a shallow serving dish or bowl. Pour the spiced red wine syrup over the oranges, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the oranges to absorb the flavor of the wine.
Before serving, spoon some syrup over the oranges and serve chilled as a refreshing, aromatic dessert.
