Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 60 milliliters Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges carefully, removing all of the white pith, and cut them into 1/3-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Step 3
Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the melted butter and allow it to dissolve, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep amber color (about 5-6 minutes). Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and carefully add the orange slices to the skillet in a single layer. Allow them to caramelize for 1-2 minutes on each side, gently flipping them with a spatula.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the oranges, if using.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour in the Irish whiskey. Light the whiskey with a long match or lighter, standing back as the flames will flare up. Let the alcohol burn off completely before swirling the sauce to combine.
Step 7
Serve the burned oranges warm, spooning some of the whiskey caramel sauce over each portion. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an added touch of indulgence.
