Brandied Oranges for Mothers Day / myLot

Rockingham, Australia

May 10, 2025 7:41pm CST

A very happy Mothers’ Day to all mothers commemorating this day. I know Ireland and some other countries have a separate Mothers’ Day but our ‘Irish’ son will ring for sure. His phone reminds him of special dates. I’ve already received a card from our Melbourne son. Vince’s younger brother lost his wife just short of two years ago and we’re getting together with him and his daughter tomorrow evening for a meal at another daughter’s place where we’re house-sitting. There is an orange tree here which is loaded with oranges, so I’ve made brandied oranges for dessert. There is also Cointreau in the recipe. We’re having roast pork for our main course.

@judyev that sounds like a lovely meal. Perhaps you could send the recipe to all Greek chefs - another mediocre meal tonight. I’m going to have to switch my travelling loyalties back to France.

For a foodie, that must be a great disappointment. I like a nice meal but mostly I see food as something to keep body and soul together.

Your brandied oranges sound delicious. Italy celebrates Mother's Day today. When our Moms were alive we celebrated Mother's day and my husband's birthday together, as it always come very close.

It would have actually been Vince's mother's birthday today. She was born in 1906.
