One great thing about the clementines is how they separate from the peel so easily!

If you try it by literally cutting the orange in half and gently removing the fruit sections from within the peel (rather than trying to pull off the peel from the cap) you will have more successes than failures. <br /><br />The smell was nice and the candles were so magic - they are sure to be the talk of your party. Let us know how it goes!17aparthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176955042705963326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-67673069884588423442012-02-08T10:07:05.469-05:002012-02-08T10:07:05.469-05:00Any more tips on these after making more for Chris...Any more tips on these after making more for Christmas Eve? I am thinking this will be wonderful for a girls-only-cocktail party I am doing later this month? Are these time consuming, too? What was the ratio of mess-ups to useful clementines? Also, is the smell strong? I actually like strong-smelling scents and citrus is universally wonderful! Thanks!Shannon D.
