Name: Fresh Orange Slices with Candied Zest and Pistachios
Ingredients: 2 Navel oranges; 1/4 c Sugar; 1/2 c Water; 3 tb Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur; 20 Shelled natural pistachios; chopped, (about 3 tablespoons)

However one chooses to interpret Revelation 3:20, it must not be thought that the sinner possesses the power to open his own heart to Christ. Only God can do this (John 6:44; Acts 16:14; James 1:18). Although God’s sovereignty in salvation does not negate our responsibility to proclaim the Gospel to all men, we must never suggest to people that the power to convert their hearts lies within them (Psalm 110:3; Philippians 1:29; 2 Timothy 2:24-26) (Darryl Erkel).

INSTRUCTIONS

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
With a vegetable peeler remove zest from oranges in strips (about 2 by 1/2
by 1/4 inches) and in a small heavy saucepan simmer strips in water to
cover 10 minutes.
With a sharp knife cut a slice from top and bottom of each orange to expose
flesh and arrange, a cut side down, on a cutting board. Cutting from top to
bottom, remove peel and pith. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick
slices and arrange on 2 dessert plates.
Drain zest in a sieve and return to pan. Simmer zest with sugar and 1/2 cup
water over moderately low heat 10 minutes, or until zest is translucent and
syrup is thickened. Add liqueur and simmer 1 minute.
Arrange candied zest decoratively on and around orange slices and top with
syrup. Sprinkle oranges with pistachios.
Serves 2.
