Prep Notes
The inspiration for this dish came from my younger days, much younger days. When I was a teenager my dad would take us to La Grenouille in NYC a magnificent restaurant the flowers oh so many beautiful flowers, they served amazing deserts. I remember they would come out with this plate full of oranges so beautiful topped with this spun sugar it was really amazing! So minus the spun sugar and liquor, this is my version.
Cooking Time
15 minutes
Yields
4 servings
Ingredients
5 oranges
1/4 cup filtered water
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla pod
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
Sprinkle lightly cinnamon on before serving
Directions
Cut one orange in half and squeeze the juice into a small saucepan. With that add, the water and the spices bring to a boil simmer for 5 minutes then shut it off and let it steep for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile peel the remaining oranges. The best way is to use a small knife you want to cut off all the membrane.
Slice the oranges about 1/2 inch thick and arrange them on a platter.
Than pour vanilla spiced glaze over the oranges sprinkle lightly cinnamon!

To wake up to this is so lovely I think it's a pretty platter to serve at brunch, lunch, you can serve it warm. I love it warm over my coconut ice cream even yogurt. How many recipes take you from breakfast to a nite time snack?
