Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 2 c Mavrodaphne or ruby port
8 Navel oranges 1 Bay leaf
1/2 c Sugar 1 Clove

Remove the zest of 2 of the oranges with a zester; or pare finely
with a vegetable peeler, then cut into thin julienne strips. With a
very sharp knife, cut off the skin and outside membrane of all the
oranges, so you have glistening orbs of golden pulp. Do this over a
bowl to catch escaping juice.

Choose a saucepan just large enough to hold 2 oranges at a time and
put in the escaped juice and remaining ingredients. Dissolve the
sugar and simmer for 5 minutes. Submerge 2 oranges at a time and
cook just long enough to warm them through - about 3 minutes. If
they bob up, place a small weighted saucer over them. Remove to a
serving dish and continue with the next pair until finished.

Boil to reduce the syrup by half, drizzle over the oranges, and chill.
