Cinnamon oranges and prunes

Delicious, nutritious, no fuss recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Marinading time (ideally) 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 4

Equipment

  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Teaspoon
  • Serving dish Ideally very shallow
  • Sealable container Ideally glass. If you don't have glass "Tupperware"-style boxes, any clean glass jar with a lid works absolutely fine!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Oranges
  • 200 grams Prunes Without seeds if you prefer
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Juice 1 or 2 oranges (depending on how big and / or juicy your oranges are)
  • Place the prunes and cinnaomon in a sealable container and cover with the freshly squeezed orange juice. Place in the fridge for an hour or so. Marinading them for too long makes the juice go gloopy - not recommended.
  • Wash the oranges to minimise chemical residue that transfers from the rinds to the final dish.
  • Cut the skin off, including all the white pith.
  • Slice the oranges into approximately the thickness of your little finger - really, cut them to the thickness of your preference.
  • Layer them on the serving plate, alternating prunes as you go.
  • Pour the marinade over the top of the fruit and voila, you're ready for desert!

Notes

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity.  Use good-quality oranges, prunes and cinnamon, and this dish will be an absolute delight for all.
