1. With vegetable peeler, remove six 3-inch-long strips peel (about 3/4 inch wide each) from oranges. Cut strips lengthwise into very thin slivers.

2. Cut remaining peel and white pith from oranges. Slice oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place in deep platter, overlapping slices. Sprinkle with brandy and orange peel. Garnish with orange halves.
