Ingredients

  • 0.5 teaspoon aniseed 
  • 0.3 cup balsamic vinegar 
  •  navel oranges 
  • 0.7 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 cup water 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • pastry brush

Directions

  1. Bring sugar, water, and anise seeds to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy nonreactive saucepan, washing down any sugar crystals on side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water and stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, gently swirling pan, until mixture is a golden caramel. Reduce heat to low and carefully stir in vinegar (mixture will steam vigorously and caramel will harden). Stir until caramel is dissolved, about 1 minute.
  2. Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp knife, then slice oranges crosswise.
  3. Serve orange slices drizzled with warm sauce.
