Ingredients:





     4 x  Large oranges


   150 ml Sweet white wine


     1 tb Butter


     8 tb Sugar


   300 ml Fresh-squeezed orange juice


     2 tb Whiskey (warmed)






 Carefully peel the oranges thinly.  Then with a sharp knife remove as


 much of the pith and white skin as possible, keeping the oranges


 intact.  Cut the thin peel into fine strips and cover with the wine.


 Put the oranges into an ovenproof dish.  Put a little butter on top


 of each one, pressing it down gently, then sprinkle each one with a


 teaspoon of sugar.  Put into a 400F oven for 10 minutes or until the


 sugar caramelizes. 


 . Meanwhile mix the orange juice with the sugar in a saucepan and


 bring to the boil.  Lower the heat and let it get syrupy, without


 stirring.  Add the orange peel and wine mixture and bring to the boil


 again, then cook rapidly to reduce and thicken slightly.   -- Take


 the oranges from the oven and if not fully browned, put under a


 moderate broiler for a few minutes. Pour the warmed whisky over them


 and set it alight, over heat. As the flames die down, add the orange


 syrup and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Serve at once;  or it


 can be served cold.
