    Recipe Introduction


    It is time for a cup of tea by the fire with a juicy plate of these dazzling oranges and a chunk of earthy goat's cheese melted over a slice of country bread.


    List of Ingredients




    8 navel oranges
    4 ½ oz sugar
    16 fl oz red wine (mavrothaphne or ruby port
    1 bay leaf
    1 clove

    Recipe



    1.Remove the zest of 2 of the oranges with a zester; or pare finely with a potato peeler, then cut into thin julienne strips. With a very sharp knife, cutoff the skin and outside membrane of all the oranges, so you have glistening orbs of golden pulp. Do this over a bowl to catch escaping juice.

    2.Choose a saucepan just large enough to hold 2 oranges at a time and put in the escaped juice and remaining ingredients. Dissolve the sugar and simmer for 5 minutes. Submerge 2 oranges at a time and cook just long enough to warm them through - about 3 minutes. If they bob up, place a small weighted saucer over them.

    3.Remove to a serving dish and continue with the next pair until finished.

    4.Boil to reduce the syrup by half, drizzle over the oranges and chill
