in Grand Marnier
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients:
6 Tropicana® oranges
2 T fresh Tropicana lemon juice
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 c water
1/8 c corn syrup
1/4 c Grand Marnier or Triple Sec Liqueur
Preparation:
Using zester or vegetable peeler, peel thin strips of orange rind
from 2 of the oranges, being careful not include any white part.
Cut into wispy thin strips and place in saucepan. Pour in enough
cold water to cover and bring to boil (this removes bitter flavor);
drain and set aside.
Using sharp knife, cut peel from oranges, including any white pith
and membrane. Cut oranges into round slices and place in glass bowl
or in overlapping slices on platter.
In saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup; bring to boil,
stirring only until sugar has dissolved. Add strips of orange rind;
simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes, or until syrup is slightly thickened.
Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and liqueur.
Let cool, and then pour over oranges.
Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours, turning oranges once or twice. Taste
and add more liqueur if desired.
