Thinly slice a naval orange, coat it with confectioner's sugar, and bake on a non-stick cookie sheet in a not-too-hot oven (about 200 degrees) until translucent (two or three hours). <br /><br />Another Christmas decoration was to entirely cover an orange with cloves and hang it with a velvet ribbon.
