How to dry Oranges for Christmas flower decorating

Pre-heat the oven at 100 degrees celsius
Slice your oranges into 3 and put aside the ends
Place the slices onto baking paper
Sift or sprinkle caster sugar over the slices
Place the slices onto an oven rack
Leave for 1.5 hours then turn each one
Leave for another 1.5 hours
Then turn up the heat to 110 degrees for 20-30 mins
You may choose to discard the ends or alternatively slice off the peal and dry it out to use in your baking, Christmas drinks or decorating.

Tip: watch the oranges closely for the last 20-30 mins as some ovens vary and depending on the thickness of the slices some may burn.
