To Make Orange Baskets for Jelly

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mark the handle of the orange evenly across the stalk end with the back of a small knife, making a ½ inch wide mark.

  2. Trace a line across the middle of the orange from one end of the handle to the other.

  3. Cut through the rind with the point of a penknife, being careful not to pierce the fruit.

  4. Use a tea or dessert spoon to remove the quartered rind on either side of the handle.

  5. Pass a penknife under the handle and gently work a spoon between the orange and the basket until separated.

  6. Press the fruit out carefully through one of the spaces on either side of the handle.
