Because they're easy to peel, clementines lend themselves well to this project, which turns them into fragrant votives.
Materials
- clementines
- small knife (an adult's job)
- tea light
Instructions
- To make one, cut through the peel around the clementine's widest part with a small knife. Carefully extract the fruit and set it aside for eating.
- Carve a small star-shaped opening in the peel's stem end.
- Set a battery-operated tea light in the bottom half, top it with the remaining half, and you're done! These orbs will dry and harden to last a few days.
Tips:
For a delicious treat that makes clementines even more irresistible, dip segments partway into melted semisweet chocolate, then roll them in shredded coconut.
