Did you know about this? Isaac (our 14 year old) showed me the other night. You clean out an orange and then pull a "wick" from the stringy white stuff near the rind by rubbing it between your fingers.
Fill the orange with olive oil and then light the "wick". This lighting part can take awhile - but once it is lit, it stays lit. It gives off a beautiful orange aroma as well.
What a lovely idea. I'm going to try this at dinner tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it on pinterest, but I haven't tried it myself. I wonder if it would be easier to light if you let the orange sit a bit to dry out.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Both my husband and kids would be impressed by that. We'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteYou have a smart 14-year old!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try that...I'd love to smell the orange and I have olive oil too.
I did not know about this, but it sounds like a wonderful idea! And since we have oranges in the fridge, I will definitely be trying this out this week!
