oranges for pot pourri

not sure how money saving this is - but I'm sure you can amend bits in it....don't cut them to thin, otherwise you cook them and they go black  ;D


Dehydrated Orange Slices

These are also excellent at yule because they represent sun symbols. All you will need for this craft are oranges. Choose only small oranges with a thin smooth peel. The large, fleshy oranges tend to go bad before they are dry. Cut off the two ends. Cut the oranges into slices no more than ¼ inch thick. Place the slices in an oven at 200F and leave the door ajar. Turn them every 10 - 15 minutes. It will take about two to five hours. When you are done, you will be left with thin, clear, dry orange slices. These can be used in potpourri, hung in windows or made into wreaths and garlands.
