Countdown to Christmas 2019 83 Days to Christmas - Drying Orange slices for Christmas decorations and the Pantry
Well the fruit I have is more Clementines than oranges but even so they will be useful either to dry whole or in slices. I have never done this before so I really am sticking my head in no man's land with this. They came from the veg shop at £1 per bowl. Initially I have bought £3 worth = 3 bowls. I intend following a tutorial from here: orange slice garland It gives you details on how to dry the oranges and how to build up the garland. I already have some hessian in which can also be added to the garland cut into little strips and also a nice homely string. The orange slices will also be useful for adding to fresh greenery decorations such as door wreaths and also to the Christmas tree and also garlands. They can also be used in making up mulling spice packs to add to a bottle of wine which again makes a useful present. And for making into a nice fruit drink There are therefore many uses for these fruit slices....
