fresh citrus products, heard about this recipe from a member
in Scarsdale, New York, they agreed that it must be included.

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 small stick cinnamon
1/4 cup cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butte r
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange rind

Peel oranges and remove pith. Cut in thin horizontal slices.
Arrange, slightly overlapping, in 1 or 2 shallow pie dishes.
Put sugar, water and cinnamon in small pan and cook over
medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved. Don’t stir; just
shake occasionally. Increase heat and bring syrup to a boil.
Remove cinnamon. Cook syrup to a caramel color. Remove
from heat and gradually stir in cream. Return lumpy mixture
