How to Make Irish Burned Oranges
- Carefully peel 4 large oranges thinly, reserving the peels.
- Using a sharp knife, remove as much pith (white skin) as possible from the oranges, keeping them intact.
- Finely slice the reserved orange peels into thin strips. Place the strips in a small saucepan and cover with 1/2 cup of orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau).
- Arrange the oranges in an oven-safe dish.
- Place 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each orange, gently pressing it down. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar over each orange.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes and the oranges are slightly softened.
- Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, without stirring, until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
- Add the orange peel and liqueur mixture to the syrup. Bring to a boil again, then cook rapidly, reducing and thickening slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Remove the oranges from the oven. If not fully browned, broil for a few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Carefully pour 1/4 cup of Irish whiskey over the oranges. Immediately ignite the whiskey using a long match or kitchen lighter (in a well-ventilated area!).
- As the flames subside, pour the warm orange syrup over the oranges and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, caramelized, and slightly boozy oranges.
- Alternatively, allow to cool completely and serve chilled.
