Orange Supremes
2
Following the contour of the orange, remove the peel, making sure to take off all the white part between the peel and the fruit.

With one hand, hold the orange and with the other hand, hold the knife. It’s necessary to have a bowl handy. If you observe the fruit, it is divided into segments, and between each segment, there is a white skin. With the knife, cut each segment, being careful not to cut into the white part (the white part should remain on the fruit). Repeat this operation until you have extracted all the supremes from the orange.
