DIY Satsuma Candle(http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-satsuma-candle/)Posted by Erica (http://honestlywtf.com/author/erica/) on January 17th, 2012

A friend of mine DIYed her own candles (http://honestlywtf.honestlywtf.netdna-cdn.com/wp-

content/uploads/2012/01/satsuma.jpg), made from the peelsof Satsuma oranges, for a recent dinner party. I

was so excited by this simple yet clever idea, I had to share th e tutorial on HonestlyWTF. My only regret is not

discovering this sooner when Satsumas were at their absolute peak in December. Hopefully, youll still be able

to snatch up a few at your local grocery store or farmers mar ket and impress your guests at yournext dinner

party!

Youll need:

Satsuma oranges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma_(fruit)) with stems attached

olive or vegetable oil

a serrated knife

a spoon

matches

The stem side of the Satsuma will be the bottom and base of the candle. Lightlyscore a ring around the top

1/3 portion of the orange. Peel off the top.


Because Satsumas are known for their loosely attached peels, the orange should easily be removed. Gently

separate the orange from of the peel with the help of a spoon. Slowly work the spoon towards the bottom

and pry the orange out from the sides, making sure not to break through the middle.


Once the flesh of the orange is taken out, the pith connecting the outer stem should remain. The pith will be

the wick of the candle. Snip the outer stem off with a pair of scissors so the candle can sit flat.

Pour a few glugs of olive oil into the orange, leaving just the very tip of the pith exposed. Use the spoon to

submerge the top of the pith into the oil for just a few seconds. Its now ready to be lit! *** Tip: if youre

having trouble lighting the pith, its probably because it has too much moisture. Try letting the peel dry

overnight (without oil) and dont forget to submerge the tip into oil for a few seconds before lighting.


Depending on the length of the pith, the candle should burn for at least a couple of hours. Remember, never

leave candles unattended while burning! xx

I tried doing this a few weeks back, but its actually really hard to get the wick lit. After

about 30 mins, i gave up.

If anyone has persevered through it, or knows the trick, share, please!

Another cool idea is to use the other half as a top, and cut out the shape of a star in the part

where it attaches to the tree. the hole is needed, because otherwise it would burn, but it also

looks so pretty! the whole mandarin will light up like a lantern

Kat (http://katunbecoming.blogspot.com) January 18, 2012 (2012-01-18T09:19:41)


What an amazing idea! Im definitely using this when we have friends round for dinner on

Sunday. Thanks!

This is wonderful! Would look beautiful on a table! I saw this used as placecards as well, the

two together would be so impressive!

great idea

Theyre also known as clementines, or are very similar to them. Most markets in the

Northeastern US should have crates of clementines stacked up right now but not for long!
