Re: ?? about freezing oranges...

[Guest guest]

Our orange juice is so full of pulp it might as well be oranges. Anything, or

most any fruit that has been frozen will have the structure changed but that is

of no importance in smoothies or ice creams. It wouldn't look pretty on a fruit

platter however.

I would be inclined to peel the oranges and separate the pieces, and flash freeze them so they won't stick together. Oranges would freeze just fine (to be used for smoothies, because if they are going to be used for smoothies, it doesn't matter that the texture changes a bit! :-)

Yes, I do this all the time when I peel an orange that isn't very juicy. I

separate into smaller sections before freezing.

Be aware tho that oranges do get foamy in the VM, so I don't like to use very

much in my creations.

Just a little fun thing to do with orange peels....spread a little nut butter

on them and set them out in a foil pan for the birds-your yard will quickly fill

with bird, particularly orioles and other fruit loving birds...keep your camera

handy! If you have any seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, etc. or grains such

as quinoa, rice, etc. a sprinkling of that on top of the nut butter is good for

the birds too!

I was thinking, if you ONLY plan to juice them on a cone type press

or juicer they could be cut in half with peel on and frozen on a

tray and bagged. I freeze my lemons in halves, in a baggy and when

needed for the zest, I zest while frozen, then if wanting the juice,

I microwave for 15 to 30 sec till barely thawed and they juice

beautifully. I would think juice type oranges would work the same.

I understand the whole thing with the VM company on one level, but

another  part of me says, because you are such a valued member of

the VM sales team, they should welcome the sales you create by your

VM labeled personae. Makes me wonder, since you have held the name

for a while, if some jealous sales person, who does not give to the

community as you do, complained and they (VM) were sort of forced to

push the issue? We might never know.

Thanks, . I wish we could do that here in the Seattle, but massive amounts

of shrewd crows would show up and gobble up just about everything. Then the

starlings would notice and they would be on the edges of the feed, trying to hop

away with some crumbs.
