So I had a cup or so of red wine kicking around left over, and I finally did something with it. Turned out yummy.
Boil leftover red wine with 2 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 6-8 peppercorns, and 2 roughly 1″ chunks of piloncillo (or a couple tablespoons of brown sugar) until it becomes syrupy.
When cool, pour it over some segmented oranges in a bowl, and let macerate a while.
I think this would be a lovely dinner party dessert in glass cups to show off the jewel tones of the fruit and syrup. I’d allow 1 orange per person, with maybe one extra for the bowl.
