Ingredients

Method
  • 1 cup clear apple juice
  • ½ cup sugar (optional)
  • 8-10 cardamom pods
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • yohurt, crème fraîche or cream, to serve
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 clementines

Method

Ingredients

Peel the clementines or oranges to remove the outer and white skin.
In a deep saucepan, bring the juice, sugar, cardamom and cinnamon to a boil. Place the oranges in the juice, making sure they do not lie on top of one another. Turn down the heat and simmer until the liquid becomes syrupy and the oranges start to soften. Be careful not to overcook. If the sugar is omitted, the liquid may be less syrupy but still scented by the cardamom.
Serve warm or cold with yoghurt, crème fraîche or cream, and spoon over some liquid.
Cook’s note: This is an ideal breakfast dish. The oranges can also be served with soft cheese as a dessert or with crispy duck as a side dish.
