1. How to Make Orange Flower Garnish

           The best way to peel an orange fancy way is to separate the orange peel from the fruit with a spoon. So we can serve fruit without cuts on the wedges. Mandarin is a very similar fruit and we can serve it a fancy way as a flower too. If you serve a crowd, we can’t peel all oranges or tangerines this way. However, we can make a few flowers and decorate a fruit platter and just add unpeeled fruits to the plate. So pretty orange and mandarin decoration technique!

Tip

*Use a knife with some mark on the blade as a guide to control the deepness of the cut. I like to use handmade garnish tools from canned food lids and also to make design cuts on an orange. How to make handmade garnish tool
