And it's super easy!

It's so easy to make elegant and natural citrus ornaments out of citrus fruit. First, preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. You'll need a couple of oranges and red grapefruits. You'll also need a wire cooling rack fitted on a baking sheet. Cut the oranges and grapefruits into 1/4-inch slices and place them on the wire rack. Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the slices to dry for 4 to 6 hours until they are not tacky. Now they're ready to display. Use a flexible wire or ornament hook to pierce the slices and hang them on your tree or centerpiece. Now you've got a beautifully homey holiday tree!
