Oranges In Lime Syrup Recipes

ORANGES IN LIME SYRUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and fennel seeds to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, about 25 minutes.
• Using a sharp paring knife, peel the oranges, removing as much of the bitter white pith as possible. Slice oranges crosswise into rounds 1/4- to-1/2-inch-thick, and place in a large bowl.
• Strain the syrup over the orange slices. Stir in lime juice, and zest. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Serve orange slices drizzled with syrup.

FRUIT SALAD WITH ORANGE-VANILLA SYRUP

Steps:

• Place the sugar, 1 cup water, orange zest, juice and vanilla bean in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare all the fruit in a large bowl, pour the cooled syrup over the top and toss together. Decorate with mint leaves and chill until ready to serve.
