How to Make Snowy Orange Lilies

• Using a sharp pointed knife, cut oranges into halves horizontally.
• This should be done by inserting knife point in diagonally, zigzagging the cut.
• Each half would have a serrated edge to give a flower shape.
• Scoop out segments carefully, without injuring the shells.
• Scrape insides of shells lightly with a blunt knife if required.
• Extract juice from segments, strain and keep aside.
• Keep shells aside in a covered box in fridge till required.
• Put water to boil, 1 tbsp sugar, stir in jelly crystals, dissolve.
• Take off fire, cool a little, add lemon juice, rind, orange juice and cool to room temperature.
• Put mixture into fridge, till thick but not set.
• Whip cream and sugar till soft peaks form.
• Put in icing bag with giant star nozzle, chill till required.
• Pour thickened mixture into orange shells, arrange sturdily in tray.
• Put in freezer till jelly sets firmly. Top jelly lillies with swirl of whipped cream before serving.
• Serve each lily as an individual helping with an appropriate spoon to scoop jelly.
