 * 1 large Cara Cara orange
 * 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

 * 1 pinch cinnamon
 * Vanilla yogurt
 * Mint sprigs, for optional garnish

Procedure

 * 1) Preheat oven to broil and position rack on the second from top position.
 * 2) Cut off ends of each orange, then cut off the rind using a paring knife, making certain that no bitter white pith remains.
 * 3) Cut each orange crosswise into thirds and place in an oven-proof baking dish.
 * 4) Combine melted butter with brown sugar, then spread over orange rounds.
 * 5) Sprinkle with cinnamon.
 * 6) Place oranges in the oven and broil several minutes until the oranges are hot and begin to form brown spots on the tops.
 * 7) To serve, arrange oranges in pretty stemmed glassware and drizzle with any cooking juices. Top with a dollop of yogurt and a mint sprig.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * The deep ruby color of the Cara Cara orange contrasts beautifully with the navel orange, but you can use two navel oranges if you prefer.
