Macerated Oranges
I happened to make this on one of our “triple digit” days last week. Yes, the temperatures were over 100. It was great timing, as this is a simple and refreshing dessert!
You just slice some oranges (I used Cara Cara for their bright color), squeeze on some freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice and add some sugar and lemon zest. Cover the platter with plastic wrap and chill for up to 24 hours. The juices and sugar will blend in the fridge, and you will have a sweet fruity burst of flavor. It is a great summer light dessert! I’ll try little orange liquor next time.
They are terrific Palma with Cointreau, but I wouldn’t let the oranges macerate in it, just drizzle it on when serving.
