Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was at the store today and they were selling oranges and grapefruits by the bag for a really good price. Has anyone ever peeled citrus, then frozen the fruit to use later for juicing? How did it turn out? Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 You know, we have one large tree ready to pick and they are juice oranges. It is so many oranges that I have been peeling them and juicing them with the juicer. Better yield and great texture, I am freezing it in quart or half pint containers since it is the only way I can figure to preserve it. I have not thawed any yet, however, I juice limes, lemons and myers lemons in ice cube containers, and pop them into plastic bags. I can tell you the juice from those is great, so I expect the orange juice will also freeze well. I hope it does! The other possibility is to make marmalade but they have lots of seeds. That would be a lot of work to take the seeds out!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I wish I had acess to such a citrus blessing...! Perhaps you can plant blood oranges...the best orange that I've ever tasted... Consider making maramalade though....segment the oranges instead of juicing them...the seeds will be easier to remove...use your rind...and go see the Sure Jell website for some of the best citrus jam and marmalade recipes! rosetalleo <rosetalleo wrote: You know, we have one large tree ready to pick and they are juice oranges.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I do feel blessed, but it is hard to keep up with all the fruit! Finished making juice out of the fruit I collected, that was only half the one juice orange tree. I am trying to get help with marmalade, then I will collect the rest of it. That it only one tree. I have another juice orange tree that is uncollected, a grapefruit tree, and a very large, minneola tree with lots of fruit getting ripe. I wonder if there is such thing as grapefuit and/or minneola marmalade....why not? Blood oranges are delicious indeed, and so pretty! (but I think I better take care of the trees I have before planting new ones....LOL) , Nay Ham <leanmeanqueennadine wrote: > > I wish I had acess to such a citrus blessing...!
