Looking at the blog The Kitchn and came across this recipe. Had to go to the source, but oh man, this makes me want to go see Dr Frankenstein and ask for a new brain. So simple, yet so creative.
Signac’s Roasted Vanilla Orange Juice »Feasting on Art
Roasted Vanilla Orange Juice
4 large oranges
1 vanilla pod
3 c water
1/2 c sugar
Juice 3 oranges and set aside. Slice the fourth orange and place on roasting tray with 1 c water and 1/4 c sugar and the vanilla pod. Roast for about 25 minutes until the oranges begin to caramelize. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Mix the remaining sugar and water until dissolved over high heat in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside and cool.
Once the roasted oranges have cooled, juice and discard the rinds. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add to the juice. Strain the water and sugar mixture from the roasting pan. Once the simple syrup in the sauce pan is cool add to the juice mixture and then chill in the refrigerator.
Serve cold.
