Fresh Oranges in Sweet Rosewater
Ingredients
- 6 oranges, peeled, carefully sectioned, and refrigerated
- 2 3/4 cups water
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons rose water
- Unsprayed rose petals and/or crushed ice (optional)
Instructions
Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Boil gently until the mixture thickens and becomes slightly syrupy, about 15 minutes. Add rose water and stir well. Remove pan from heat, let cool, and chill. To serve, place oranges in dessert bowls, atop crushed ice if desired, and pour rose-scented syrup on top. Garnish with rose petals if desired, and serve immediately. This would be pretty with blood oranges. Find rose water in Middle Eastern or other ethnic groceries.
