Marsala Orange

In a saucepan, mix the sugar with the wine, lemon juice, and 2/3 cup of sugar

Let it simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally

While this is happening, peel the oranges, being careful to remove only the outer fine skin

Cut the rind into thin strips

Remove all the white parts from the oranges

Add the rind strips to the saucepan and let it cook slowly until it reduces to half

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down

Secure the oranges on a plate (don't waste the juice) and cut them into slices

Remove the seeds and reassemble the orange slices, securing them with a toothpick

Arrange these oranges in a deep glass bowl

Add the orange juice that formed when cutting the slices to the saucepan

Pour the sauce slowly over the oranges

Refrigerate until serving time

Serves 8 portions.
