Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag of oranges
  • 1 sharpie
  • Freezer bags

Instructions
 

  • Pick out the freshest oranges in the pack. This is important because you don’t want to freeze bruised or old oranges. 
  • Wash and dry the oranges. Dry them as well as you possibly can. I recommend allowing them to sit out on the counter for about 30 minutes to be absolutely certain that they are dry.
  • Write todays date on your freezer bag. Tip: Write the date that they should be used by on the bag as well. This keeps you from having to do math later.
  • Place the oranges in a freezer bag.
  • Press as much of the air out of them as possible. 
  • Place the baggie in the freezer. Be careful not to stack things on top of the oranges before they have had time to freeze solid.
