Cut an orange in half, so that each side will sit flat. Take a paring knife and cut a circle in the middle of the orange, a little larger than the votive candle. Place votive candle inside the center of the orange. Repeat for additional orange halves. Arrange several orange halves on a table as a unique centerpiece. This interesting display idea can also be done with grapefruit.
