Ingredients:
- 4 oranges
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Begin by slicing the oranges into ¼ inch thick rounds. Remove any seeds and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns into a golden caramel color. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
3. Once the caramel is ready, add the butter and stir until it has completely melted. Be careful as the mixture will bubble and splatter.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine the flavors.
5. Carefully place the orange slices into the caramel sauce. Ensure they are evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Allow the oranges to cook in the caramel sauce for a few minutes on each side until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Once caramelized to your liking, remove the oranges from the skillet and transfer them to a plate or serving dish. Use a spatula to avoid breaking them.
8. Let the caramelized oranges cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Serve them as a standalone dessert or as a topping for ice cream, cakes, or pancakes.
