Instructions
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
Add fennel wedges. Cook 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add fennel wedges and sugar, and saut 3 minutes.
Add chicken broth, orange rind, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer for 25 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.
Sprinkle with the fennel fronds.
Note: Leave enough of the root end intact so the fennel wedges hold together.
