Ingredients

  • 8 oranges
  • 250 g sugar caster or granulated
  • 300 ml water

Instructions

  • Peel the rind from two oranges very thinly. Cut into narrow strips and plunge into boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
  • Remove the pith and peel from all the oranges. Slice horizontally and remove any pips. Reassemble the layers of each orange and fasten together with a cocktail stick.
  • Put the sugar and 1/4 pint (150 ml) water in a saucepan. Dissolve over a low heat, and then bring to a boil. Boil until the syrup changes to a golden brown.
  • Remove pan from heat and pour in the rest of the water immediately, taking care that it does not splash. Heat again slowly to dissolve the caramel.
  • When cold, pour over the oranges and garnish with the orange rind.

She also helps companies and schools educate around—and create a culture and environment that truly supports healthy eating.
