Unique Candle

Make a Candle from an Orange/Grapefruit/Lime/Lemon

 

Orange Candle
 
Someone sent me this idea recently and I thought it was so clever! Just take an orange/lemon/grapefruit, cut in half, eat the middle portion, leave the center core-like stem intact.  Let this dry out (overnight is good). Then pour a kitchen oil (veg oil, olive oil, etc.) into orange just below the top of the stem. Light stem. It will burn for hours and smell amazing.
 
If you give this a try, let me know how it worked for you.  murmursdfa@gmail.com
Until next time, MO

    Hello
    Enjoying your blog very much. I did try this but was unable to light the stem. Perhaps the stem has to dry somewhat is what I'm thinking. MH

    I did try it as well and it would not stay lit. So I tried the other half of the orange next day which had dried out and it worked like a charm. So I adjusted the blog with that info.
