Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges (navel or blood oranges preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, shelled and chopped)
Instructions
Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the white pith to expose the vibrant flesh underneath. Slice each orange into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Arrange the orange slices on a large serving plate or individual plates, slightly overlapping them in an attractive pattern.
In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, honey, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Drizzle the honey-sugar mixture evenly over the orange slices, ensuring every piece gets a touch of the fragrant dressing.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the oranges for added crunch and nuttiness, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Chill the dish in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately if desired.
Serve the perfumed oranges as a light dessert or side, enjoying the delicate blend of citrus and floral aromas.
