@nestbyjess: 🍊Orange you glad you know these dried orange tricks? 🍊 Dried oranges are a fun holiday DIY that make beautiful decorations, drink garnishes and desserts, but they can be a bit tricky to master! After three years of dried orange attempts, I’ve finally gotten the process down to a science and I’m sharing all my tips with you: 1. Pick oranges you wouldn’t want to eat. Pick the underripe ones that are firm to the touch. They’ll have less water content and will be easier to dry! 2. Use a sharp knife to cut thin slices. The thinner the slice, the better it will evenly dry! 3. Use a rag or paper towels to pat the oranges dry. This cuts down on drying time. 4. This is an important one: let them sit. I let mine sit out overnight and they begin to dry out before getting them into the oven. That way, your oven will be less humid and dry the slices faster. 5. Place the oranges on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and place them into your oven that’s been preheated to 200° F. 6. Every 30 minutes, flip the oranges slices. If you have multiple trays in the oven, make sure to rotate them as you go. 7. Enjoy! You now have the perfect dried oranges for your holiday decorations and entertaining! Will you be making dried oranges this holiday season? If so, how are you planning on using them?? Follow along this holiday season to see all the different ways you can use oranges to spice up your home! #christmasdiy #driedorangeslices #holidaydecorating
