Whisky Oranges With Honey Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup Scotch whisky
8 oranges
For Honey Cream
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons Scotch whisky

Preparation

Stir sugar and water together over low to medium heat until sugar is dissoved.
Bring to the boil, then decrease heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat to cool, and add whisky.
Peel the oranges, ensuring that no white pith remains.
Cut the oranges into segments, cutting between membranes- if you do this over a bowl you will catch all the juice.
Place the segmented oranges in a bowl and carefully pour over the cooled syrup.
Refrigerate, covered, for up to three days before serving.
For the Honey Cream: Place the honey and whisky together in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream softly.
Gradually add the honey mixture to the cream, beating until thick.
Refrigerate covered until serving time.
