Oranges in Caramel Ingredients

180 g Caster sugar	TO DECORATE
150 ml Water	Whipped cream
4 lg Thin-skinned oranges	Red berry fruit
10 ml Cointreau or Grand Marnier	Mint sprigs

Instructions for Oranges in Caramel

In a small heavy pan, gently dissolve the sugar in half the water. Stir if necessary. Turn up the heat and bubble the syrup until it turns to caramel (no more than 190C). Brush the sides of the pan with water to prevent crystals forming as it boils and do not stir once the sugar has dissolved. Pour a little caramel on to a lightly oiled tray or non-stick baking paper, to use later as a decoration. Cover your hand with a cloth and pour the remaining water into the hot caramel. Leave to cool and add the liqueur. Pare the zest from one orange, cut into needle-like shreds and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain. Remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Slice almost through into rounds, and pierce with a cocktail stick to hold the shape, or remove as segments from the membrane. Serve the oranges on a plate flooded with the caramel sauce. Decorate with your choice of cream, berries, mint, cracked set caramel or shreds of zest. DISCLAIMER(c) Copyright 1996 - SelecTV Cable Limited. All rights reserved.
