Preheat the oven to 180 C/160 fan/gas mark 4. Peel the clementines, making sure to keep them whole. Use a small knife to gently remove any white pith which is bitter. Compost the peels.
Put the clementines in a baking dish, along with the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, star anise and cinnamon stick. Drizzle with the honey or maple syrup.
Bake for 20 minutes, then use a spoon to baste the clementines with the warm orange juice. Put the dish back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
Divide the clementines into bowls, pour the warm juice over and serve. Enjoy!
