1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 piece (1 to 2-inches) fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin
1 tbsp grated orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
3 whole black peppercorns
1/2 tsp vanilla
10 navel oranges, peeled, sectioned
1 can (8-oz) pineapple tidbits in juice
3/4 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup maraschino cherries
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the water, sugar, ginger, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns to a boil; remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cover and allow to stand for half an hour.
Poor the cooled syrup through a strainer into a small bowl. Discard remains in the strainer. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate.
Combine the oranges sections and pineapple tidbits, undrained, in a large bowl. Gently stir in the chilled syrup. Spoon into individual servings clear glasses dishes. Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the tops and then add the cherries.
Note: This is another of my old Oxmoor House recipe ideas.
