You will need.....       6 large seedless oranges

                               6 oz. castor sugar

                               2-3 tablespoons Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Curacao

                               1 teaspoon lemon juice

                               2 tablespoon double cream, whipped

Preparation Time

Peel one orange thinly with a potato peeler. Cut peel in fine shreds. Put in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes then drain and put on one side.

 

Cut peel and pith from all oranges. Cut oranges in thin slices. Arrange orange slices, overlapping, in a serving dish. Sprinkle with the sugar and liqueur. Cover and leave in a cold place to chill overnight.

 

Just before serving top with orange shreds. Serve with whipped cream. Serves 6.

 

Quick Tip

 

To prepare orange segments instead of slices, peel orange and remove pith. Then hold orange in the left hand and, with a sharp knife, dissect out each segment, leaving the membrane and skin behind. This takes longer than slices but it is well worth it.
