How to Make a Clementine Candle
Cut one orange in half., Ease your thumb underneath the skin so your thumb is wedged between the fruit and the skin.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Cut one orange in half.
Only cut through the skin though, not through the flesh.
Make a thin slice directly in the middle of the orange to create the guide.
Run your knife over the thin slice to create a deeper slice until you’ve reached the fruit. -
Step 2: Ease your thumb underneath the skin so your thumb is wedged between the fruit and the skin.
Slide your thumb gently back and forth to release the skin from the fruit without disturbing the skin or tearing it.
Run your thumb underneath and along the entire cut area to loosen the skin from the fruit.
Use fingers if you find that method to be easier.
Travel upward, toward the bottom/top of the fruit until you’ve released the fruit from the skin without breaking the skin.
Perform this step on both halves of the orange.
