How To Make A Clementine Candle

It's that lovely time of year again, when even though the weather is getting colder, bright little boxes of clementines start popping up in store windows. Now is their season, and it's ours to exercise a little bit a of will power and optimism in the dark. I learned this fabulous little party trick when I was a school teacher years ago (thank you Ana Opitz!) and have been showing other folks how to do it for years. It's ALWAYS a crowd pleaser. I've updated the whole post and combined all the elements from instructions to slide show to video. Here's also a nice clip of how to lay them in water for optimal effect. Enjoy!
