Jeweled Clementines with Vanilla Sauce

You can serve this simple dessert in martini or wine-glasses for an upscale holiday touch. Orange juice is an acceptable substitute for Grand Marnier, but the liqueur is what makes this an elegant dessert.

3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)
4 cups Clementine sections (about 12 Clementine’s)
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
1 (8-ounce) carton vanilla low-fat yogurt
Mint sprigs (optional)

Combine sugar and vinegar in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 6 minutes or until amber brown. Remove from heat; stir in liqueur.

Place the Clementine sections in a large bowl; pour sugar mixture over sections. Cover and chill 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Combine milk and yogurt, stirring with a whisk. Spoon Clementine mixture into individual bowls or stemmed glasses, and top with the yogurt mixture. Garnish with mint, if desired.

Serves 6.
