Orange Slices memories... There is a special
place in my heart, (or should I say in my taste buds!) for candy
orange slices. Our neighbor picked me up from school every day, and as
soon as I walked through the door, I went for the jar filled with
candy orange slices. They were in a clear glass jar, right next to the
couch. I was only allowed a few at a time, so I always ate my limit!
They were wonderful! Even when I eat them now, it always brings back
fond memories of my childhood. I loved candy orange slices as a child,
and still love them today! ~ Amy from Alabama
I grew up with a dad who loved orange slices candy
and always had them around the house. So, all my life the phrase
"orange slices" meant those candies Dad loved. When my sister was
getting married, I wanted to make a special brunch for the
bridesmaids. The mulled apple cider recipe called for apple juice, a
number of spices, and "6 orange slices." As I put the ingredients on
the counter to prepare the recipe, the bridesmaids burst into laughter
as I set the orange slices candy on the counter--not realizing that
the recipe meant "slices of an orange"--even though it said orange
slices! No matter how fancy I try to be with my recipes, my family and
friends won't let me live down how I brought orange slices candy for
my cider recipe. ~ Jill from Missouri
When I was a young child my great-grandfather, Papaw, lived with my grandmother. Papaw was elderly
and spent most of his time in his room. When we went to visit, I would go in to Papaw's room to say hi and he would give me orange slices.
He had a hard time eating hard foods, so he loved orange slices because they were so soft. He always had a fresh supply waiting for me when
we came to visit. Now, as an adult, every time I see an orange slice candy I am reminded of Papaw and can almost taste the sugary outer
coating and the soft, squishy middle of the candy! ~ Stacy from Texas
