Moroccan Oranges

Wash the oranges thoroughly and peel them completely, removing all white pith. Separate the orange segments carefully, keeping the juice that accumulates.

Pour the water into a saucepan and add the sugar and cloves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and simmer the syrup for 2-3 minutes to allow the clove flavor to infuse into the liquid.

Add the orange segments and any accumulated juice to the saucepan with the syrup. Stir gently to coat the orange segments evenly with the syrup.

Simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oranges soften slightly and absorb the spiced syrup.

Remove from heat and let the Moroccan oranges cool to room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld further.

Transfer the oranges and syrup to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve. Present chilled as a traditional Moroccan dessert.
