Recipe by Jeanne Kelley For this simple dessert, top tangy-sweet orange slices with homemade caramel-and-cardamom syrup; finish off with a dollop of Greek yogurt flavored with honey and orange-flower water.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 5 medium navel oranges (about 2 1/4 pounds)
  • 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon orange-flower water
  • Mint sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup water and cardamom in a small, heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 20 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve over a small bowl; discard solids.

Return pan to medium-high heat; stir until well blended. Remove pan from heat.

  4. Combine yogurt, honey, and orange-flower water in a small bowl. Serve yogurt mixture with oranges. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
