Ingredients:
1 case oranges (80 count - or lemons or limes)
70 sprigs of fresh mint
2 1/2 gallons orange sherbet (or sorbet)
Directions: Slice a small piece off bottom of orange so it will sit flat. Using a sharp knife, cut a zigzag pattern around the orange about 2/3's of the way up the orange. Cut deep enough into the orange so you will be able to lift the top off. After removing the top 1/3 of the orange, scoop out the pulp being careful not to go all the way through the bottom. After finishing preparing all the oranges, scoop the sherbet into them. Place on baking sheets, cover, and freeze. Just before serving, remove from freezer and garnish with mint leaves. The great thing about this simple but unique dessert is that it may be done up to a month in advance. No last minute fuss for a fun ending to a picnic. Vary fruits, ice creams, and garnish to personnel preferences. Plan one orange per person. If your guests offer to bring something, this is a great place to have them show their talents with a cookie buffet served with the glace oranges.
