Set
Pour into molds and allow to chill and set in the refrigerator for a hour or until set. We angled the glass, by placing the glasses in a bed of salt and angling to our desired look. Be careful not to introduce any salt into the panna cotta, old egg crates work well too.

Orange Honey Chutney

Prepare Oranges
Slice off a small amount of the skin on the top and bottom of the orange. This will give a stable cutting surface to peel the orange.
Trim away the skin and pith of the orange, starting at the top of the orange, slicing downwards, following the shape of the orange making sure there is no white pit remaining on the segment. Trim off if necessary**.
Once peeled, over a bowl, slip a small paring knife between one of the segments and connective membrane. Cut until you reach the middle of the orange, continue on the other side of the connective membrane and remove the segment.
Make sure there is no white pith remaining on the segment, trim if necessary. Continue with the remaining oranges, saving any excess juice. Once segmented, squeeze the hollowed shell into the bowl to release any extra liquid, and save.
**We chose to not use pectinex in this recipe because we are destroying the integrity of the orange supremes by cooking them into a paste. It makes more sense to just supreme, rather than peel & soak in water for hours then make the sauce.
