Directions
Cut a round piece from the top of each orange and carefully remove the pulp with a spoon.
Wash and dry the orange skins.
Fill half of each orange with blanc-mange and the other half with jelly.
Chill until completely cold, then cut the oranges into halves or quarters.
Arrange the pieces on a dish and decorate with long leaves.
