How to Make Dried Orange Slices

How to Make Dehydrated Orange Slices in the Oven

Dried orange slices make the most gorgeous garland, centerpiece accents, and the best smelling potpourri. Who knew it could be so easy to make at home?! They sell for a lot of money at the high end stores and boutiques.

Just use fresh oranges from the store and a cookie sheet!

They come out of the oven looking so beautiful with rich orange and brown colors. You can use some twine and string it through the middle of the orange slices for a fun garland to hang up!

Or add them to make some pretty potpourri (I throw in a pot of water, cranberries, oranges, 2 cinnamon sticks, cloves, and sprigs of rosemary to simmer on the stove for a few hours). The kitchen will smell lovely.
