Sliced oranges drizzled with a sweet sauce that has subtle undertones of cinnamon and a burst of mint make a perfect light dessert. If you like chocolate with your oranges, serve them with Chocolate Orange Sauce on the side instead of Orange Grand Marnier Sauce.

Using knife, remove skin and white pith of oranges. Cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; arrange on shallow platter or serving dish. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
