Fresh fruit is a favorite Greek dessert, sweet snack, and a great addition to the breakfast table. It's delicious served alone, but you can dress it up with a drizzle of fabulous Greek honey. Whether you slice the oranges or separate them into pieces, this 1-2-3 recipe (one step, two ingredients, three minutes) adds a lovely touch.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 oranges, or clementines

  • 2 to 3 drops of Greek thyme honey, or other honey of your choice

  • Cinnamon, ground, optional

Steps to Make It

  1. Peel the oranges, break into pieces (or slice).

  2. Arrange on a serving dish, and drizzle with honey.

  3. Optionally, add a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
