Using a vegetable peeler remove the zest from the oranges.
Cut away all traces of the bitter white pith. Cut the orange zest
into thin, narrow strips. Separate the oranges into segments
by carefully cutting between the membranes with a sharp
knife. Put the segments into a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil. Add
the orange zest and boil for 3-5 minutes. Drain and refresh in
cold water. Drain again and set aside.
In a saucepan combine the sugar, the water, cinnamon
stick and honey and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook
briskly until a very thick syrup forms, about 230 degree's
on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Stir in the
reserved orange zest and the orange-flower water. Pour the
syrup over the orange segments, re-cover and chill for about
4 hours.
To serve, transfer to individual plates. Spoon the syrup
with the zest over the top. |
