Spiced oranges

Although these aren’t actually edible they are such a lovely gift to give, especially if made by little hands. The smoothing smell of the cinnamon and soft scent of the orange will make any room smell Christmasy.


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 oranges

  • 3-4 cinnamon sticks

  • Coloured twine - we like red and white, ribbon or string would work too

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 140C.

  2. Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment.

  3. With a sharp serrated knife cut your oranges into thin slices (about ½cm thick).

  4. Place them onto the baking sheet and into the oven and bake for 45 mins to 1 hours, turning them half way through. You want them to be completely dry.

  5. Tie your ribbon (or twine) around a cinnamon stick and secure with a knot, then thread through the centres of the orange slices, layering them up as stacks. Create a little loop at the top so that they can be dangled on trees or around the house.
