Steps:
- Using a sharp paring knife, peel oranges following the curve of the fruit, and remove as much bitter white pith as possible. Slice oranges into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; place in a large bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water, sugar, wine, and anise seeds, if using, to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until liquid reduces to 1/2 cup, about 25 minutes.
- Strain the syrup; stir in lime juice and zest. Pour over oranges.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

l-k@aol.comI'm not sure what went wrong with my batch of orange slices in lime syrup, but they turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the flavor just wasn't there.

nwaneri_amarachi@aol.comThis recipe was a disaster! The orange slices were bitter and the syrup was way too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

marjum42@hotmail.co.ukThe orange slices were a bit too tart for my taste, but the syrup was delicious. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less lime juice in the syrup.

s_santos55@aol.comThis recipe is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I had a few oranges that were starting to go bad, and this was the perfect way to use them up.
