Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh oranges
4, segmented
Granulated sugar
1/4 cup
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Water
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the oranges. Peel and segment the oranges, ensuring to remove any seeds.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange segments, sugar, cinnamon, and water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the oranges have released their juices, about 10 minutes.
  4. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the compote has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool to room temperature before serving.
  6. Serve the orange compote as a delightful topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream, or enjoy it on its own as a refreshing dessert.

Tips

  • 💡 For added depth of flavor, consider incorporating a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of ginger.
  • 💡 This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • 💡 Try substituting some of the oranges with other citrus fruits like grapefruit or blood oranges for a unique twist.
