Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

9 medium navel oranges
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Squeeze enough juice from 3 oranges to measure 1 cup.
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring but washing down any sugar crystals with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, until syrup around edges begins to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Tilt pan and carefully add orange juice (caramel will harden and vigorously steam). Simmer, stirring, until caramel is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from remaining 6 oranges with a sharp paring knife and cut each orange crosswise into thirds.
  • Heat one third of butter (1 teaspoon) in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté 6 orange slices until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. Sauté remaining orange slices in butter in same manner, wiping out skillet between batches if necessary. Return all orange slices to skillet along with caramel sauce and cook over moderate heat until heated through, about 1 minute.

These were delicious! I love the combination of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.

Not a fan. The oranges were too sour, and the caramel was too hard. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These caramelized oranges were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar. Otherwise, they were easy to make and pretty tasty.

The best caramelized oranges I've ever had! So simple, yet so delicious. I made these as a last-minute dessert for a dinner party, and they were a huge hit. Everyone kept asking for the recipe.

Loved the candied oranges! Nice balance between sweet and tangy. Such an easy dessert to make too. I served this to my book club over the weekend, and everyone raved about it. Definitely will be making this again!
