Baked clementine halves with cardamom-infused syrup

Preparation

Peel and halve 3/4 of the clementines then juice the remainder. Remove and retain the seeds from the vanilla pods. Roughly crush the honey and oat cookies. Cut the butter into small cubes.

Method

1. 1 Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 (180°C for fan ovens). Place the clementines in a baking dish cut side up, so they fit snugly.
2. 2 Mix together the clementine juice, sugar, cardamom pods and vanilla seeds.
3. 3 Pour over the clementines and tuck the vanilla pod in between. Dot over the butter and roast for 10 minutes.
4. 4 Sprinkle over the crushed cookies and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden.
5. 5 Serve with the syrupy juices and ice cream.
