Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Heat sugar with water in a pan over low heat, stirring until dissolved.
¼ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons water
Increase heat and cook until the syrup turns an amber caramel.
Pour the caramel onto the prepared tray and let it cool completely, then break it into small pieces.
Peel the oranges thickly, removing all white pith, and slice them. Place the slices in a bowl.
4 oranges
Mix honey with lemon juice and pour over the oranges. Stir gently and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
4 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan until fragrant, then chop roughly.
½ cup walnuts
Divide the orange slices over plates and sprinkle with walnuts and caramel pieces.

1. Can I make the oranges the day before?

Yes, slice and marinate them in honey and lemon in the fridge. Add walnuts and caramel right before serving.

2. Do I have to make the caramel?

No, you can skip it for a simpler dessert or use a few bought brittle pieces.

3. Can I use another citrus fruit?

Grapefruit or blood oranges work well too. Adjust the honey if they are more sour.

4. Storage

Fridge: Marinated oranges keep 1 day, covered, in the fridge. Add nuts and caramel just before serving.
Freezer: Not suitable for freezing; the texture of the oranges and caramel will change too much.
Serving: Serve chilled, straight from the fridge.
