[step-item number=”1″ image_url=”” title=”” ]Make the orange cups: With a small serrated knife, score a line around the middle of each orange. Then, using the line as a guide, cut each orange in half in a zigzag pattern to make a decorative edge. Loosen the pulp from the shell by cutting around the inside of each orange half with the knife. Using a small spoon, carefully remove and discard the pulp, leaving the orange shell intact. Cover and store orange shells in the refrigerator (will keep for 1 day).[/step-item]
