I have several orange trees in my yard. This is how I save my juice. I squeeze the oranges, and strain most of the pulp and seeds. I fill up canning jars leave at least 3/4 of an inch from the top. If you leave less than that you get a lot of breakage and orange syrupy stuff oozing out the top. It makes a huge mess. I fill up 2 freezers full each March and it lasts me all year long.
I just finished with my first freezer (64 quarts).
When ready to use, screw off the lid and microwave for 3 minutes. Chunk it up with a fork and pour it into the blender. I either serve it as orange juice slush or add milk, vanilla, fruit or yogurt and make smoothies.

Great idea, I love all your tips.
Hmmm...I think I may need to come over and steal a few of those jars : )
I thought of you today as I pulled out our frozen home grown juice. I freeze some of it in 1 cup amounts and the kids LOVE to pull out the shaved ice machine and use it on that. It's a great after school snack.
I'm so jealous of your trees and the finished product. Hope I get to come to breakfast at your house sometime! What a hard worker you are.
