• 4 large oranges
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 tablespoon grappa or other liqueur
• 2 tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar
• mint leaves for garnish
  

Peel the oranges, and cut them into large rounds about 1/2-inch thick. Place each slice in a large frying pan, sprinkle with the sugar, and add the raisins. (You may have to do this in two batches.) Add 2 tablespoons water, and cook over high heat for the first 3 minutes. Lower the heat, and cook for 4 more minutes, flipping the oranges halfway through. Pour in the grappa, and let it evaporate. Arrange the oranges on a plate, add the sauce from the pan, and let cool to room temperature (do not put in the refrigerator). Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and serve, garnished with mint. Serves 4
