Candied Mandarin Oranges With Cranberries

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Using a sharp paring knife, slice tops and bottoms from oranges. Cut off peel and white pith. Set aside.

   Step 2

   Bring sugar and 3 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add St-Germain and oranges. Remove from heat; cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.

   Step 3

   Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oranges to prepared sheet; reserve syrup. Broil until oranges are browned in spots, 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; set aside.

   Step 4

   Place cranberries in a small saucepan. Add enough syrup from oranges to cover, reserving the remaining syrup for another use. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until berries are soft and begin to burst, 5–7 minutes. DO AHEAD: Oranges and cranberries can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

   Step 5

   Spoon cranberries with juices over caramelized mandarins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
