Nici Wickes: Caramelised Oranges

Oranges are in abundance and they’re sweet and cheap at the moment so I’m throwing them into everything; cakes, roast duck, salads and this gorgeous dessert.

Serves 2

2 oranges, peel and pitch removed, sliced thinly (save the juice)

2 tbsps brown sugar

1 tbsp butter

5 cm stick of cinnamon or pinch of ground

Ice cream or cream to serve

1. Heat the brown sugar in a small pan with the reserved juice from slicing the oranges. Let it bubble for 2-3 minutes then add the butter and cook for another minute until the bubbles get lazy – this indicates it has started to caramelise. Add the orange slices and cinnamon and cook for a further minute or so.

2. Spoon into bowls and serve with ice cream or cream.

Nici’s note: My other favourite way to eat oranges is in a simple salad, the segments tossed with baby spinach leaves or shaved fennel and toasted hazelnuts and splashed with a gentle fruity vinegar. Try it!
