Ingredients
- 4 whole oranges
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 leaves mint leaves
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges, removing all of the white pith, and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the orange slices on a serving platter.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. Be careful not to overcook as balsamic glaze can burn quickly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the orange slices on the platter.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, tearing them gently to release their aroma, and serve immediately.
