About

When fine seedless oranges come in, give them special treatment. The simplest way is Salade aux Fleurs d’Oranger. For something more elaborate, try this method from Italy.

Ingredients

6–8 oranges
300 g (11 oz) sugar

Method

Remove the bright orange peel thinly from half the oranges. If you use a zester, it will come away in fine shreds. If you use a peeler, cut the flat strips into thin matchsticks. Set aside.

Now peel all the oranges to the quick, using a very sharp knife. Do this over a plate to catch the juice. Slice each orange, then re-form it and run a cocktail stick through to hold it in shape. Plac
