Capture the spirit of the holidays with a splash of vibrant color and a hint of sweetness. Enhance your traditional garlands or greenery by adorning them with fragrant candied oranges. The process is easy: slice oranges, coat them in sugar, and bake until they transform into glossy treats. These candied oranges will not only add a burst of color to your decorations but also infuse the air with a delightful citrusy fragrance. Your new tablescape will pair perfectly with a festive red washable rug.
