Peel rind from oranges in ½ inch strips, cutting into white membrane as little as possible. Reserve oranges for later use. Place rind strips, outer side up, on a wire rack on a baking sheet.

For a nonalcoholic beverage, ⅓ cup cup mulled wine spice mix may be combined with ½ gallon apple cider. Servings: ½ gallon.
