Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 1 cup Golden raisins
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 3 whole Cardamom pods
- 2 whole Cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing the outer skin and white pith completely. Slice the oranges into thin, round slices and arrange them on a serving platter. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the golden raisins, water, honey, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raisins are plump and the liquid is infused with the spices' aroma.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, scoop the spiced raisins and arrange them over the orange slices.
Drizzle the remaining spiced syrup from the saucepan over the oranges and raisins, ensuring even distribution.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately or chilled.
