How to Section Oranges
Use a sharp paring knife to cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice off both ends of each orange. Cut the peel and white pith away from the oranges, using a downward cutting motion following the shape of the fruit. Place each peeled orange on its side, then cut down along the membrane on both sides of each section to remove the fruit.
