Oranges With Grand Marnier And Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Beat 1 egg white, the almond paste, confectioners' sugar, and almond extract with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add Grand Marnier and orange zest, and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
• Turn out dough onto a clean surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar, and roll into two 3/4-inch-thick logs, about 18 inches long. Cut each log crosswise into thirty 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
• Lightly beat remaining egg white. Brush onto each dough ball, and roll in sugar, tapping to remove excess. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gently pinch each piece of dough with three fingers to form an irregular pyramid shape. Bake until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks, and let cool completely. (Macaroons can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.)

Steps:

• Grate 2 teaspoons zest from the oranges and set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, cut away and discard the thick white pith from the oranges. Carefully cut between the membranes to release the orange sections. Set the orange sections in a colander to drain off the excess juice. (If you add the juice to the pan, it will be too watery.).
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed, nonreactive saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water and the zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
• During the last few minutes, stir in the orange sections.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.
• Cool completely.
• The cranberry sauce can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, covered and refrigerated. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of an 8-by-11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Whisk together flour, salt, and cardamom. Whisk in almonds. In a separate bowl, stir together marmalade and lemon juice.
• Beat butter with sugar, orange zest, and ginger on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat on low speed just until clumps begin to form, about 30 seconds. Press 3 packed cups of mixture into bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Spread marmalade mixture over crust. Crumble remaining flour-butter mixture over top, creating clumps. Bake 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue baking until light golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes more. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. Remove cookie from pan, running a spatula between cookie and base to release. Serve, with fruit, chocolate, and sorbet. Store cookie in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Place orange slices in a shallow dish and cover with the booze.
• Turn a few times to coat and chill 1 hour up to 6.
• (I use a freezer bag) Grill orange slices, brushing with reserved marinade for 3-4 minutes on each side.
• Serve hot with vanilla ice cream like this.
• 1 small dollop of ice cream in the bottom of a glass, 1 slice orange, 1 dollop, 1 or 2 slices orange and drizzle a spot of fresh booze on top or left over marinade.
• You can use a sprig of mint if you like.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Combine one-half cup of sugar, one-half cup of the cold water and the orange rind in a saucepan and bring to the simmer. Add the gelatin and stir to dissolve.
• Add the orange juice and bring to the simmer.
• Combine the cornstarch and the remaining two tablespoons of water and stir the mixture into the simmering liquid.
• Pour and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and cool briefly.
• Put the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add about one-quarter cup of the hot liquid to the yolks. Beat briskly and pour and scrape this mixture into the same mixing bowl, beating with a wire whisk. Beat in the Grand Marnier. Set aside until cool.
• Put the egg whites in one large bowl and the cream in another.
• Beat the whites until they are almost stiff and add three tablespoons of sugar. Continue beating until they are stiff.
• Beat the cream until it is almost stiff and add the remaining sugar. Continue beating until it is stiff.
• Add half of the whites to the egg- yolk sauce and beat them in. Add the remaining whites, folding them in gently. Fold in the cream. Chill until it is set.
