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.

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!
