(from Ryan77’s recipe box)

Categories: Vegetable

Ingredients

  • One small orange for every 2 guests
  • Package of frozen petite peas (or 2 packages, depending upon how many guests)
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Crumbled bacon
  • Small triangles of colored paper for flags
  • Toothpicks

Directions

  1. Cut the oranges in half and scoop out the fruit, leaving two half shells for the boats. You can cut a little off the bottoms of the boats with a sharp knife so that they won’t roll on the serving platter. These “boats” can be made a day ahead and stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

  2. Cook the frozen peas according to package directions. Drain them, and then toss them with butter, salt, and pepper.

  3. Arrange the “boats” on a serving platter. Attach the paper flags to the toothpicks and stick the end of the toothpick into the white part of the orange peel so that it will stand straight up.

  4. Fill the Petite Pea Boats with peas, sprinkle them with crumbled bacon, and serve
