     Pare (not peel) around the orange, cutting in deep enough to cut off the inner white membrane. Cut near the membrane of one of the sections straight in to the
core; cut again on the opposite edge. Slip the knife under and scoop out the pulp, but leave the membrane on the core. Lay the membrane back under the left thumb, and cut in the same way into the next section. When all the pulp is removed the membrane should be left on the core. The pulp and juice are more delicious when                                           taken out on this way than when squeezed out. Remove all the seeds, sweeten to taste and served with chipped ice, if desired.
