How to make Orange Peel Spirals
Although there are specially designed fruit peelers for this trick, you can achieve very similar results using a small and sharp kitchen knife.
Pierce the skin of your orange, before you peel it, with the upper edge of your knife. With a smooth, even motion, roll
your orange around in your hand, while continuing to cut a thin strip of the peel with the knife as you go. Stop when you have the desired length or until the peel naturally cuts off. Roll the
strip of peel into a spiral.
