Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tangelos or oranges
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Tangelo or orange zest
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the tangelos or oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them crosswise into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.
Step 2
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Cook until the syrup turns into a medium amber caramel, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even coloring. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the unsalted butter until fully incorporated. Be cautious, as the caramel may bubble vigorously.
Step 5
Add the pinch of sea salt and tangelo or orange zest to the caramel, stirring to combine.
Step 6
Arrange the sliced tangelos or oranges on a serving plate, slightly overlapping if desired.
Step 7
Drizzle the hot caramel sauce evenly over the citrus slices, ensuring each piece is coated.
Step 8
Allow the caramel to cool and harden slightly for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve immediately.
