Care must be taken not to break the handle off from the basket. The skin is then filled with chopped jelly. The orange basket must be served each on its own plate and not lifted from it, because the handle of the basket will not bear the weight of the jelly and rind. For the third way of serving jelly half orange skins are used, the edges being cut into sharp little points or scalloped.
