Orange-Glazed Fruit with Anise Whipped Cream
Ouzo, often referred to as the national drink of Greece, is an anise-flavor liqueur used in this easy fruity dessert.

Ingredients
-
1/4 cup orange juice
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
1/2 cup whipping cream
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon ouzo (anise-flavored liqueur), orange liqueur, orange juice, or several drops anise extract
-
3 cups fruit, such as tangerine wedges, strips of mango, or quartered plums or apricots
-
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
-
Chopped almonds or pistachios (optional)
Directions
1.
For syrup, in a small saucepan, combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, and honey. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar and honey; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Set aside.
2.
In a medium chilled bowl beat whipping cream, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ouzo with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Cover and chill up to 30 minutes.
3.
In a mixing bowl toss fruit with melted butter. Transfer fruit to a grill pan or a disposable foil pan with small slits cut in the bottom.* For a charcoal grill, place fruit in pan on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals; grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place grill pan on grill rack directly over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
4.
To serve, arrange fruit on each of 4 dessert plates. Drizzle with syrup. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with whipped cream. Makes 4 servings.
Note
Make a foil pan with a double thickness of heavy foil; fold up sides of foil to form a pan and cut several slits in bottom.
