Sliced Oranges and Vanilla

Texture is what takes this dessert out of the ordinary. By slicing away all of the peel and white pith from the oranges, you eliminate the unpleasant stringy texture of sliced oranges in ordinary fruit salads.

I have seasoned the oranges here with vanilla but at other times have substituted a tablespoon of port or Grand Marnier or another orange-flavored liqueur.
