Cinnamon Oranges with Honey

When I started my cinnamon recipes section month and a half ago I didn’t expect so many people would show interest in it. Now a few weeks later I shall continue with more cinnamon recipes for tasty and healthy desserts.

Cinnamon Oranges

This is a very simple dessert that can be prepared easily any time of the year. Takes only 10 minutes to prepare and serve. As you might be guessing oranges taste best in the winter when they are at their peak, hence the cinnamon orange dessert will have better flavor if prepared in the winter. Lucky you, cause you can try it immediately 🙂 and it will taste best.

4 servings

4 navel oranges
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar or (1-2) tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Peel the oranges and remove the white pith from them. Use sharp knife to cut each orange into 5 or 6 slices and arrange them on 4 plates. Mix the orange and lemon juices, add the sugar and cinnamon and whisk. Poor 1 spoon over each orange slice pile and you are ready to serve.

Variation:

Instead of 1 tablespoon of sugar you can use (1-2) tablespoons of honey.
