Preparation

Step 1
Place the orange peel and honey in a heavy sauce pan, simmer slowly about 10 minutes, until the peel begins to look translucent.
Step 2
Add remaining ingredients and simmer about 40 minutes, until the fruit is tender. If too much of the liquid evaporates during cooking, add a little additional orange juice or some water.
Step 3
Cool to room temperature, remove cinnamon sticks, then chill before serving. Spoon into individual goblets or bowls.
