Here goes nothing – or how to segment an orange!

STEP 1

Top and tail your orange so that it's stable.



STEP 2

Using your bread-knife held at an angle and using a gentle sawing motion following the shape of the orange, remove the outer peel.




Continue until all the peel is removed.

STEP 3

Sit the orange in your hand – you can see the segment membranes – they look like fine white lines. Gently slice the left-hand side of your first segment making sure you keep the white line to the left of your knife.


Repeat, slicing the right side of the segment, now keeping the white line to the right of your knife.



  • one perfectly formed segment! Repeat this process until you've segmented the whole orange.




STEP 4

You'll be left with a handful of membranes and pith loaded with fresh juice – squeeze into the container with your segments.




Here's the finished bowl of both!



Enjoy your Master Class!
