How to Supreme an Orange
Using a sharp knife, completely remove the peel of the orange.
One at a time, remove each slice of orange, using the knife to cut between the orange flesh and the white pithy membrane that separates each slice.
When you’re done, you should have perfectly formed orange slices without any seeds or membranes. If any seeds remain, remove them.
