How to Make Perfumed Oranges
- Carefully peel and remove all the white pith from 6 medium oranges using a sharp knife. Try to avoid removing any of the orange flesh.
- Slice the peeled oranges into thin (about 1/8 inch) rounds.
- Arrange the orange slices in a single layer in a shallow glass baking dish.
- In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the honey is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and slightly warmed.
- Carefully pour the honey mixture evenly over the orange slices in the baking dish.
- Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, basting the orange slices with the honey syrup occasionally for even flavor distribution.
- Once chilled, arrange the orange slices decoratively on a large serving platter.
- Spoon the remaining honey sauce generously over the arranged orange slices.
- Sprinkle the Perfumed Oranges with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
