Oranges are a traditional conclusion to a Chinese meal -- great alone or with Ginger-Currant Shortbread if you're feeling more indulgent.
Ingredients
  • 8 oranges, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 inch piece of ginger, sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick

  1. Combine water, sugar, ginger and cinnamon stick in a medium pot. Heat gently until sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 10 minutes, remove from heat, add the Coinreau and let cool completely. Remove the ginger and the cinnamon stick.
  2. Pour syrup over orange slices in a shallow dish and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  3. Serve slightly chilled, garnished with mint.
