How to Make Balsamic Glazed Oranges

  1. Peel 4 large oranges, ensuring all pith is removed.
  2. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices, removing any seeds.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a large spoon until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has reduced by half and thickened slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Divide the orange slices evenly among 4 dessert plates.
  7. Drizzle the warm balsamic glaze generously over the orange slices.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
