YOLANDE S TIPS During the citrus season Orange and mandarin peels can be saved to make pot pourri A mandarin skin (see below) can be used to form a flower. Drying the peels in a fan forced oven 100 degrees until skins are hard and dry. Sprinkle them into a dish or bowl adding dried flowers as well, adding some scented oils to make a lovely smell through the house. Other use for the dried peels, place them in an onion bag (see below) will keep silver fish and other insects away from your cupboards and drawers. No need to add oils to these peels.
