Ice Cream Stuffed Oranges With Caramel Sauce Food

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH DIJON BROWN SAUCE

Steps:

• Early in the day, rinse pork loin to remove any unwanted smells and pat dry with paper toweling. In a large saute pan, heat the oil and sear the pork loin on all sides. Remove pork to a utility platter and coat liberally with mustard, then roll in Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning. Leave refrigerated for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Transfer pork to a covered roasting pan or a large saute pan with an oven safe handle, and roast covered in oven until fork tender, at least 45 minutes. (Remember to use oven mitts when removing the pan from oven.) Transfer pork to a utility platter and let rest in a warm place before slicing. Add white wine to the roasting pan and swirl to combine flavors with the juices in the pan. Place roasting pan over medium heat (or transfer to a small saucepan) on the stovetop and let reduce slightly. Add the prepared brown sauce to the roasting pan juices and wine. Cook the gravy for a few minutes to integrate flavors and to thicken. Season with salt and pepper and strain the sauce. Lay slices of pork loin on serving dish and spoon brown sauce over. Garnish with chopped rosemary.

SPICED ORANGES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 4 cup glass measuring cup combine the brown sugar, heavy cream and light corn syrup. Set aside in microwave until later.
• To cut oranges into supremes: remove rind and pith. Over a bowl to catch the juices, cut in between skins to release supremes. Squeeze juice from skins over supremes and toss with a bit of cardamom to taste. Set supremes in 4 dessert bowls.
• When ready to eat microwave brown sugar mixture, uncovered at full power for 2 minutes. Whisk to blend, and cook 1 minute more until a bit thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Immediately pour over oranges and garnish with pistachios. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a week. To soften, microwave 30 seconds to a minute, uncovered.

MUMBLE'S ICE CREAM FILLED ORANGES

Steps:

• Cut off top of the oranges and scoop out pulp with a melon baler or serrated spoon down to the pith, or white membrane, inside orange.
• Reserve 3 tablespoons of juice.
• Cut off a thin slice from bottom of each orange so they will stand without rolling, being careful not to puncture bottom of the oranges.
• Soften ice cream in refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Stir in orange juice and mix well. Place ice cream mixture and empty orange shells in freezer overnight.
• In a small bowl, combine topping and honey. With an ice cream scoop, fill orange shells with ice cream mixture. Drizzle 1 tablespoon topping mixture over each orange.
• Serve immediately.

ORANGE CARAMEL SAUCE WITH ALMOND PRALINE

Steps:

• Brush cookie sheet with oil. Stir first 3 ingredients in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring until mixture turns deep amber, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with pastry brush dipped into water, about 15 minutes (mixture will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat. Carefully pour half of caramel into heavy small saucepan. Working quickly, place small saucepan over medium heat; add nuts and stir until coated. Pour out nut mixture onto prepared cookie sheet, spreading evenly. Set aside.
• Add cream and butter to remaining hot caramel mixture in large saucepan. Boil until smooth and slightly thickened, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Add orange peel. Transfer sauce to jar; cool. Cool praline completely and chop. (Praline and sauce can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover separately chill. Bring both to room temperature before using.)
