Ingredients:

1 cup

Sugar

Directions:

1

Cook sugar undisturbed in a dry medium saucepan over medium-high until a ring around the edges is melted, about 5 minutes

2

Using a heatproof spatula, pull melted sugar in toward the center of saucepan

3

Continue to cook, pulling melted sugar into the center and reducing heat if sugar begins to smoke, until all sugar is melted and a deep caramel color, 6–8 minutes

4

Remove from heat and carefully add vinegar (it will spatter and caramel will seize)

5

Cook sauce over medium heat, stirring, until caramel dissolves; season generously with salt and pepper

6

If sauce tastes too tart, add more salt a pinch at a time to balance out

7

Let cool

8

Slice off ends from oranges; set on ends and remove skins and white pith

9

Slice oranges crosswise into 1/4"-thick rounds

10

Place in a large bowl; add pomegranate seeds and sauce and toss to coat
