    This a great tangy frosting. It comes out nice and stiff and is good for decorating.

    Ingredients:
    ¼ c vegetable shortening
    ½ c butter
    ½ an orange (I used a Peruvian orange since they are a bit juicier)
    zest of a whole orange
    1 ½ tablespoons of vanilla
    about 4 cups of confectioners sugar

    Directions:
    Squeeze the juice from half the orange into a bowl and set aside.
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening until smooth.
    Add zest and vanilla.
    Beat in the sugar one cup at a time
    About half way through, add the orange juice
    Continue beating in the sugar until you have the consistency you wish for decorating
