Dried fruit decorations
Cut the orange into thin slices 4-5 mm thick. Spread them on a paper towel to absorb the moisture, then bake them in the oven at 100 degrees for about three hours. Turn them several times during baking so that they dry evenly and do not burn. When the oranges are dry, you can arrange them in a glass or a decorative bowl and place them on the table or make decorations out of them.
