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.
Spiced Oranges
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
- 2 oranges
- 3-4 cinnamon sticks
- Coloured twine - we like red and white, ribbon or string would work too
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140C.
- Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment.
- With a sharp serrated knife cut your oranges into thin slices (about ½cm thick).
- 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.
- 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.
