Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing your fruit and patting dry.
  2. Remove the ends from the fruit and discard, be sure you are cutting away enough of the peel so that the flesh is now visible.
  3. Stand the fruit upright on one of the flat ends. Cut away a section of the peel from the top all the way down to your cutting board. Be sure that you are making a clean slice and removing all of the white pith.
  4. Use this first slice as a guide to remove the rest of the peel and pith. Make slices all the way around the fruit until all of the peel and pith are gone.
  5. Once the peel and pith have been removed, lay the orange on its side and cut it into slices, as thick or thin as you like.
  6. You can also cut your orange into sections, or supremes, by making slices on either side of the membrane that separates the orange sections. 
  7. This will give you beautifully sliced, visually appealing oranges without the thick white membranes, perfect for adorning salads and desserts.
