Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Cutting the fruit:
Peel the oranges "a sangre", that is, removing all the peel and also the outer white pith so they don't turn bitter. Cut them into crosswise slices about half a centimeter thick, keeping their round shape.
2. Preparing the dressing:
In a small bowl, mix the Stevia1:3 with the ground cinnamon and the pinch of Bonsalt 0%. The Bonsalt will help the orange juices come out more quickly and will subtly enhance the cinnamon aroma.
3. Maceration:
Place the orange slices in a wide dish without piling them too much. Sprinkle the stevia and cinnamon mixture evenly over the slices. If you decide to use orange blossom water, add a few drops at this point.
4. Resting and serving:
Let the oranges rest in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes. During this time, the stevia and cinnamon will blend with the orange juice, creating an exquisite natural syrup. Serve well chilled and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a contrast of color and aroma.
These prepared oranges are proof that a healthy dessert can be absolutely delicious. Go ahead and make them, and enjoy a light, wholesome, flavor-packed finish to the meal!
