I made this a couple of weeks ago and took a pic of it for a friend.

I just dried clove studded orange and aple slices in a really low oven for a few hours and added to my pine cones collected on holiday. Then I used cinnamon essential oil to make it smelly.

can you use cheapy oranges eg tesco value ?

and roughly how thick are the slices before they go in the oven ?
