Oranges In Caramel Syrup Food

ORANGES IN CARAMEL SYRUP

Steps:

• Lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a small saucepan, bring ½ cup of the sugar and 3 tbsp of water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; boil without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber colour, about 5-6 minutes; immediately pour the caramel onto the oiled baking sheet and tilt the sheet to spread the caramel as thin as possible (use a pot-holder or towel as the baking sheet will be hot from the caramel); cool completely; break up the caramel into pieces; in a food processor, pulse the caramel pieces until chopped into pieces the size of chocolate chips; do not overprocess; the caramel chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week; if they stick together, give the airtight container a bang on the kitchen counter, and that should loosen things up.
• Using a small, sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all the bitter, white pith; working over a heatproof bowl, cut between the membranes to release the orange sections; measure out ½ cup of the orange juice.
• In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 2/3 cup sugar and ¼ cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; boil without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber colour, anywhere from 5-7 minutes; remove the caramel from heat and add the reserved orange juice - avoid spatters- stir and cook over low heat until smooth; let cool slightly; pour the sauce over the oranges, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally.
• To serve: Arrange the orange slices in dessert bowls; spoon some of the juices into each bowl and sprinkle with caramel chips; garnish with mint sprigs.

ORANGES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small high-sided saucepan. Using your finger, stir to create a sandy mixture, being careful not to get sugar on the side of the pan. Set pan over medium heat. Without stirring, cook mixture until dark amber in color, swirling pan carefully while cooking to keep the color uniform, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Slowly add the cream, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Remove pan from heat, add the lemon juice and butter, and stir until well blended, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Using a very sharp knife, cut top and bottom from oranges. Carefully slice away peel and white pith. Place oranges in serving bowls, and pour at least 3 tablespoons reserved caramel sauce over each. The unused caramel can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

ORANGES IN CARAMEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Thinly peel the oranges and remove any pith from the fruit.
• Cut the orange rind into very thin strips and put into a small saucepan.
• Add 150ml of the water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the orange rind from the water and set aside. Discard the cooking liquid.
• Hold the oranges over a serving dish to catch the juice, then using a sharp knife cut the fruit into segments, removing the membranes. Arrange the segments in the serving dish, scatter over the orange rind strips and set aside while you make the caramel.
• Put the sugar and half the remaining water in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
• Increase the heat until the syrup is a rich golden caramel colour. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining water - stand well back as the mixture may splutter.
• Return the pan to a low heat and stir until the caramel is dissolved.
• Remove from the heat and pour immediately over the oranges. Chill in the fridge until required or serve warm.

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.

CARAMEL ORANGES

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook until caramel turns a golden amber, about 15 minutes. Pour caramel onto a greased baking sheet to cool. Break into shards. Peel oranges so that no pith remains. Run knife between membranes to release segments. Squeeze whatever juice remains in the membrane over orange segments. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier. Let macerate for 20 minutes. Spoon orange segments into glasses. Spoon remaining juice over segments. Garnish with caramel shards.

ORANGE CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until deep amber color, occasionally brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes.
• Carefully add orange juice and orange peel (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir over low heat until smooth and any caramel bits dissolve. Cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)

CARAMEL-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Very thinly slice 1 orange into rounds (about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick). Remove any seeds. Place slices in medium bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar; let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Carefully add orange-sugar mixture to caramel (mixture will bubble up). Return pan to medium heat; simmer until orange slices are tender, stirring occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
• Transfer orange mixture to processor; add butter and coarse salt and process until orange slices are very finely chopped. Pour mixture through fine strainer set over bowl, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible (sauce will be thick). Cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before using.
• Using sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from 4 oranges. Working over bowl to catch juices and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl. Mix orange segments and juices from bowl into warm sauce.
