This is so amazingly simple, I had to try it out:
The cut is not as neat, and the stem is not in the middle, but hey, I have a working mandarin-candle!
Apparently the idea is from the '70s (ofcourse, hippies.). Here's a lovely how-to on instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Orange-Candle/. As I don't eat oranges, and enjoy smaller candles, the mandarin works just fine. As fuel, I used vegetable oil (it's cheap).
The 'amazing smell' mentioned in the first picture, but maybe it develops later, we'll see.
