POACHED ORANGE SLICES
Seedless oranges washed and cut in slices about 3/8 inch thick may be poached like apples. These make an attractive garnish for baked ham.
Combine 1 cup water, 2 cups sugar and the juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons) in a ten-inch aluminum skillet or a shallow saucepan and simmer fine minutes., and drop orange slices into the hot syrup; simmer until tender. Lift out and serve hot with bacon or sausage. The syrup may be used several times if a little more water and sugar are added each time. 5 servings.
