Sukkah Decorations

The holiday of Sukkot begins this Wednesday night. If you are decorating a sukkah at your house or synagogue,  here is an idea from my book, (Jewish Holiday Style) for decorating your sukkah--a garland of dried fruit. 

These oranges were sliced and baked in a 275 degree oven for about two hours or until dry, then sprayed with a clear varnish. String with a thread and needle, alternating with wooden beads in colors or natural wood tones. Apples or lemons would work, too.
