Oranges In Red Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Stir orange juice and sugar together in a pitcher until sugar dissolves. Add wine, oranges, plums, strawberries, and brandy.
• Cover and chill until ready to serve, 1 to 24 hours.
• Gently stir in club soda before serving over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

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:

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

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:

• To prepare the red wine and orange sauce.
• Combine the orange juice and honey in a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a syrup, about 15 minutes.
• Add the vinegar, stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the wine, raise the heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces by half (8 to 10 minutes). Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces to a syrupy consistency, and there is about 1-1/2 cups of liquid remaining (10 to 15 minutes).
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the pumpkin pie spice, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to incorporate. Add the butter and gently swirl with a wooden spoon until incorporated and the sauce takes on a satiny gloss. Keep the sauce war, over very low heat.
• To prepare the duck breasts:.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully remove about one-third of the fatty skin from the surface of each breast. With the tip of the knife, score the fat with a crosshatch design, being careful not to cut through to the meat. Spread the oil evenly over the duck breasts, then sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture over each breast, a teaspoon on the fatty side and a teaspoon on the other side, and press the spices into the surfaces.
• Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Place the duck breasts, skin side down, in the skillet, lower the heat just a notch to medium-low and cook for 7-8 minutes, until the skin is crisply browned. Spoon out the excess fat from the pan as it is rendered. Turn the breasts and cook 3-4 minutes, until the meat on the opposite side is lightly browned. Transfer the breasts to a cutting board and set aside to rest for 5 minutes; they will continue to cook while resting.
• Using a sharp carving knife, cut the duck breasts in half crosswise, then cut each half into 1/4 inch slices. Divide among six warmed serving plates, arranging the slices fat side up. Spoon the sauce over the duck and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Combine and bring to a boil the wine, water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and lemon slices.
• 2. Simmer for 3 minutes and keep hot.
• 3. Peel oranges and reserve skins.
• 4. Section oranges, discarding fibrous membranes, and drop sections into the hot syrup.
• 5. Pare away the white part of orange skin and cut rinds into very fine julienne strips.
• 6. Sprinkle the strips over the orange sections in red wine mixture and chill.
• 7. Serve in chilled crystal compote dishes.
