Balsamic-Glazed Oranges

Submitted by justcallmetoni

"While the combination strawberries with balsamic vinegar is common in many dishes, the sweet-acidic balance of the vinegar pairs well with other fruits. This dessert whips up in a heartbeat and is the perfect ending to an Italian meal."

This is really a great glaze, and the oranges and glaze with vanilla ice cream were fantastic. No problems making this at all simply let it come to a gentle boil, then took it off the heat. Probably could have boiled it a bit more, but sure didn't want it too thick. Thank You so much for a great recipe

I picked up a bag of Blood Oranges and a bag of Pink Grapefruit from Trader Joe's this earlier this week. The combination with the drizzled Balsamic Glaze is such a treat I keep forgetting it is healthy. I am so hooked on it that I had to rate this recipe and thank you for sharing it!

A fabulous ZWT2 find! So simple; so delicious! We love citrus flavours so I'll be making this often. I used 3 oranges and one grapefruit. And we thoroughly enjoyed it with a generous dollop of Greek yoghurt. Thanks for sharing!

Super recipe. I must say that I am most-often awed by the simplest of things - this recipe is one of those wonders. Very simple to make, lovely to eat. Made to serve alongside crepes at a World Cup Finals party.

First, cut up the oranges and place on/in your serving dish. Next, combine the balsamic (be sure to use a very good quality balsamic) and brown sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring it to a boil slowly (this took about 5 minutes on my gas cook top on a small burner), turn down the heat and reduce, stirring constantly, until it is 1/2 the original amount (this took about 5 more minutes). Drizzle over the orange slices and ENJOY! Soooooo good and refreshing!
