Make this pretty and refreshing orange dessert with clementines, tangerines, or small navel oranges. It’s a good buffet dish served in a large glass bowl. Prepare the dish in advance to give it a chance to chill well.

Flavoring desserts this way with bay leaves and other herbs, rediscovered by pastry chefs, actually dates back centuries. Sliced ripe peaches or nectarines can also be prepared like this.
