Method

  1. Make the syrup in a small pan by heating the sugar, sherry, cinnamon, and the vanilla seeds until boiling. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until syrupy, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool completely.
  2. Cut the skin and white pith off the oranges, then slice into discs 1cm thick. Arrange on a platter and top with the pomegranate seeds. Just before serving, pour over most of the syrup and garnish with the mint leaves. Drizzle the remaining syrup over the yogurt and serve alongside in a bowl.
