How to dry oranges for decoration step by step
- We fill the pot with two glasses of water and the juice of the lemon we squeezed before. This helps preserve the orange color while drying and prevents oxidation.
- We cut the orange into very thin slices, add them to the pot, and let them rest for 30 minutes.
- We take out the oranges and let them drain on kitchen paper. After that time, remove the slices and place them on kitchen paper to drain. A few extra layers of paper on top can speed up the process.
- Arrange the orange slices on baking paper on a tray and bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- At the end of the time, the dried orange rounds are ready to use on the Christmas tree. Tie them with a thin string and hang them proudly.
