oranges in wine sauce: recipe from the grandmother of Rudy Van Dyck of Wolfsdonk.

Louisa Blockx (1901-1974)

“When the children of Wolfsdonk went New Year singing on New Year’s Eve, they often received oranges. From the oranges the children had sung together, mother, just like her own mother before her, prepared a spicy sauce. It appeared on the festive table on New Year’s Day, alongside mashed potatoes and roast.” grandson Rudy Van Dyck of Wolfsdonk.

Boil the wine and sugar and thicken with pudding powder or cornflour. Cut the peeled oranges into pieces of about 0.5 cm. Pour the wine sauce over them. Leave to rest overnight.
