  1. Delicious! The photos do not do this dish justice as it comes out very pretty. Made as written using the two hour chill time and served with yogurt which made a great combo. But the little bit of sauce that was still warm and stuck to the bowl after dressing the oranges was the best. Think next time may try severing warm. We enjoyed the leftovers with toast for breakfast this morning. Thanks so much for the yummy post.
     
  2. Oranges becoming my favorite dessert I had to try this. Today I tried it for breakfast and what a great way to start the day. The ginger is what I liked mostly in this. I ate it right away coz I saw in the end I was supposed to chill it, which I could imagine being even better. I halved the recipe.
     
  3. This was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly! For myself and husband I added some orange liqueur. We had it on vanilla ice cream. I couldn't stop eating it. Thanks for posting :)
     
  4. Made this for a lady who loves oranges and sweets and served it alongside grilled shrimp. She loved it. I thought it really good as a dessert with some plain Greek yogurt, the tartness and thick unctuousness of the yogurt a good foil for syrupy oranges. I did use cracked allspice berries and dark raisins (what I had on hand). Good stuff, Nasseh!
     
  5. For us this was a unique & very tasty treat! I liked it paired with some low-fat vanilla yogurt, while my other half preferred it plain or with a small scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt! Either way, definitely worth 5 stars! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Went to the Market tag]
