Candied Oranges are Pretty

and here they are on a cake!
And here is the recipe: Candied Citrus Slices from Martha
It was so easy! Water + sugar + tangerines + heat + time = DELICIOUS. I used tangerines and navels, but I liked the tangerines better because they don't have as much pith.

I decorated the cake for John Sr.'s birthday (John's mom baked the cake and whipped up the icing). At the party was also a bunch of cheese and crackers, which as I found out, go GREAT with the candied oranges. Salty and sweet will never be wrong. Try it at your next party!

P.S. Thanks to John Jr. for the pictures! Love you, Beb!
