Oranges In Red Wine Recipes

Steps:

• Divide oranges among 12 (5-to 8-ounces) juice glasses and top with wine. Let stand 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the wine, sugar and bouquet garni in a saucepan large enough to contain the oranges and figs in a single layer. Bring to a simmer, covered, over moderate heat. Add the figs and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the oranges and turn them for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them so they cook evenly. Turn the heat off and let the oranges and figs cool in the syrup.
• Remove them to a serving bowl. Reduce the syrup by half and let cool. Discard bouquet garni and spoon syrup over figs and oranges. Garnish with walnuts or pistachios if you wish.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine all the syrup ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is reduced by one third, about 25 minutes.
• Strain the mixture and refrigerate until cooled. Check the syrup's consistency. It should be like honey. If too thin, return it to pan and reduce for a few more minutes. If too thick, add a little water. Set aside.
• Slice off the tops and bottoms of the oranges. Then remove all the peel and pith around the oranges.
• Slice along the sides of each segment and pull out the segments.
• Repeat with lemons.
• Spoon the syrup onto a plate and arrange the orange and lemon segments over it. Sprinkle mint leaves on top.

Steps:

• Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange to expose the flesh. Cutting from top to bottom, following the contours of the orange, completely remove the peel and white pith. Discard the peel and set the oranges aside. In a saucepan, combine all of the remaining ingredients except the mint leaves. Heat to a simmer. Add the whole peeled oranges and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, turning the oranges every 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature in the liquid, turning occasionally. Chill. To serve, cut each orange crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the slices, overlapping them, on small serving plates. (The outsides of the oranges will be redder than the insides.) Drizzle a little liquid over each plate and sprinkle with mint.

Steps:

• Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith. Separate them into sections and place in a bowl.
• Dissolve the sugar in the water in a shallow saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the mixture from time to time, until it becomes honey colored. Remove from the heat. Pour in the wine, standing back from the pan because it may spatter. Stir briefly so all the caramel dissolves in the wine.
• Pour over the oranges and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve in goblets decorated with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Bring wine, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon to boil in large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 18 minutes. Cool syrup completely. Cover and chill until cold. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
• Finely grate peel from 2 oranges. Mix peel and 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl. Using small sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from all oranges. Working over large bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover orange segments and sugared peel separately and chill.) Divide oranges and juice among 8 bowls. Drizzle syrup over and sprinkle with sugared orange peel.
