Oranges With Red Wine Syrup Recipes

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:

• 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:

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