Jelly in oranges (boat things). Help!!!

[thehouseofmirth]

How the feck do you get the orange flesh out of the orange halves without splitting them?

And how far in advance can I make them?

Anyone?

My sister made these, but I think she made them in quarters.

I would assume you need to cut them lengthwise too (incase you hadn't been doing that) - will be much easier to scrape

Haha, Flamseparrow I think that may be the key! It's just the recipe (Annabel Karmel I'm afraid) does say about the scraping but makes it sound akin to peeling a grape as far as difficulty is concerned and actually it isn't that simple. I'm already in pre-party panic mode and am not responding well to setbacks, especially of a culinary nature.

here they are

They look cool

They are cut into quarters in the picture.

PMSL You are so right. God I can be dense.
