• Take the fruit and cut the peel carefully around the equator, without damaging the flesh underneath.
• With the handle of a teaspoon or a blunt table knife, carefully loosen the peel from the fruit flesh, so that each peel hemisphere is only attached at the centre.
• Loosen the orange segments and then carefully remove the peel hemispheres.
• In most cases, one hemisphere has a pith wick, this forms the candle base. Cut a circle or star out of the other hemisphere.
• Cut the pith wick to just a centimetre length. Then pour some sunflower or other vegetable oil into the hemisphere with the pith wick and allow to soak for a minute or two.
• Light the pith wick carefully, this may take several attempts as the pith carbonises and soaks up the oil.
• Place the other peel hemisphere on top, Voila!
