This is the last recipe of the Spanish themed dinner. For those of you who are new to this blog, this week I posted a recipe each day so that you could make your own Spanish feast by the weekend. Today's recipe is an absolutely lovely dessert. It is super light and refreshing, and if you want, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Fresh Oranges with Spiced Red Wine Syrup
Ingredients:
- 1 750 ml bottle dry red wine (I used a bottle of Trader Joe's $2 Shiraz!)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
- 8 oranges
Directions
Bring wine, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon to a boil in a large heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Boil until reduced to about 1 cup or is a thick syrup (I used medium heat, and this top about 40 minutes, stirring every now and then) When it is done it should form little drops that hold their shape. Remove from heat and cool syrup completely. (can be made 1 day ahead - if you do, cover and chill)
Using sharp night, put off peel and white pith (the stringy part between the slices) from all the oranges. cut into slice. Layer orange slices in a shallow dish and pour wine syrup over oranges.
Allow to marinate for 30 min or more. Then serve.
