This is from Vegetarian Times. May 2005. This sounds so pretty! Ingredients:
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
2 whole cardamom pods, crushed |
2 whole allspice |
1 cinnamon stick |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 large oranges, peeled and white pith removed, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices |
4 kiwi fruits, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine 3/4 cup water, sugar, cardamom, allspice and cinnamon in saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook until liquid is syrupy and slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
3. Put orange and kiwi slices in shallow bowl. Pour hot syrup over fruit.
4. Let cool to room temperature, cover and chill at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours. Sprinkle with almonds, and serve.
