Orange Slice Ornaments Recipes

HOW TO DRY ORANGE SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice the oranges into 1/4 inch slices.
• Lay the slices on an oven safe rack, then place that rack on to a cooking sheet. This will allow air to flow around the oranges as they bake.
• Bake for 6 hours. Turn the slices over every hour or so. The oranges slices should be somewhat pliable when they're done. Start checking them diligently around the 5 hour mark.

ORANGE SLICE ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 150* ( the lowest mine would go, is 170*)
• Slice off the ends of the oranges.
• continue to slice the orange 3/4 inch or so thick. Use paper towels to blot away excess juice.
• Place on cookie sheets and place in the oven, for 3 hours, flip oranges over and cook for an additional 3 hours.
• allow to cool completely, and poke a small hole through the top of the orange, and string either twin or ribbon and hang on your tree!
• I pray this long, but easy task is as amazingly beautiful and as heavenly smelling as it is in my home, Merry Christmas!
• P.S. If you have some orange slices that just didn't make the cut, and you don't want to put on your tree, save them and dry them in the oven as well, and make some homemade potpourri !!( recipe for that to come later this week as well )
