Orange Slices in Syrup
A Turkish classic of fresh orange rounds bathed in a cinnamon-scented sugar syrup, chilled until cold and finished with a scatter of chopped pistachio for crunch and colour. Bright, lightly spiced and effortlessly refreshing, it is the kind of ending Turkish households turn to after a heavy meal.

Instructions
1
Peel 220g oranges with a knife, removing all white pith, then slice into rounds about 1cm thick and arrange in a shallow dish.
2
In a small saucepan, combine 45g sugar, 70g water and the cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon over medium heat.
3
Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 6-7 minutes until the syrup reduces by about a quarter and thickens slightly to a light coating consistency.
4
Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes so it does not cook the fruit on contact.
5
Pour the warm syrup evenly over the orange slices, tilting the dish so every slice gets coated.
6
Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, spooning the syrup over the oranges once halfway through.
7
Just before serving, scatter the chopped pistachios over the top and divide between two bowls.
