@@weesh4645 It's a privilege to make affordable decor?🤦 Oh please, this is the stuff made back in the Depression era when hardly anyone had privledge....
Thank you for this. I followed a pin from a very well-known & usually very reliable source that instructed the slices to be one quarter inch thick with oven setting at 250° for 3 hours on cookie sheets lined with parchment. 3 hours later the slices still were not dry & the rinds were browning & separating from the pith! So thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing this! I can now reenter my kitchen with confidence & make the beautiful garland for my tree I've wanted all along! Merry Christmas!
I'm making this for my Christmas tree garland. I'm adding fresh cranberries to garland as well 🤗 I hope it turns out ok. I love this look. Going for that early american/primitive decorating.
Gorgeous work! I’ve been having lots of fun drying citrus this fall and find it mostly turns out really well. Would love to do some of the beaded citrus garlands for gifts! Tia 🌟🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼🌟
try using like a spatula or something to hold your oven door open a crack. Sometimes the lowest setting still isn't low enough, they're not really designed to dehydrate. Remember to flip every 30-60 minutes, I also move them around on my tray (my oven doesn't cook very evenly, so ill switch the slices from the center of the tray to the outer side)
I want to try and make these for our Christmas tree. I’ve heard cats don’t like oranges and it’s one way to keep them out of the tree, so my question is does it lose it’s orange scent once dried? Thanks.
@@maryhoward3543 i used quite a lot of paper towels which I laid on and under the slices; as oranges secrete juice, towels absorb it therefore I needed to replace them like 6 times
