How to Freeze Oranges

- These oranges are mainly frozen for smoothies and salads. I've tried freezing them in the peelings but that makes them too hard to thaw and peel. I'm not a morning person and try to make things easy on myself when making our morning smoothies. If you know other uses for these oranges please leave your ideas in the comments below, thanks.

Thanks for watching.
Still helping people! My mom never taught me to cook, freeze or bake. Thank you for stepping in♥️
I never knew you could freeze oranges. Thanks so much Phyllis. I am learning so much from you. I watch your channel all the time and sooooo appreciate all the great things you share.
Phyllis, I seems like you and I grew up doing the same things. If we didn't grow it, we bought it from the farmer's market. Canning in glass jars was a way of life. We preserved everything that grew. I would love to return to those days. It is so relaxing to me to peel tomatoes, peaches, shell peas or just about anything. The satisfaction you get plus the money you save adds up at the end of a year. I really do enjoy doing this. Thank you for showing younger people how to do this and reminding us old timers of the good life we lived and it isn't too late to get back into it and we can teach some of the young ones too.
Hi Phyllis, I'm in Arizona and my girlfriend gave me about 50 oranges from her tree! I'm so happy to discover that I can freeze them. Thanks for your video! :)
I've thoroughly enjoyed learning all the things you have to teach us! I never knew you could freeze oranges. You are a gentle spirit and a great teacher. I'm so glad I found you and had the where-with-all to subscribe. Keep the knowledge coming.
I had no idea that oranges froze so well. Thank you for video!
Love love love the way you peeled them oranges.. so much easier.I have never heard of freezing oranges..awesome! Thanks Phyliss, I keep learning something new from you.. and will soon be 61.. We're just never to old to learn!
1994abbygirl how do you usually peel oranges...oh like an apple
Question please will they freeze better
If i left them whole with the skin on
I've saved zest before but it usually gets lost in my freezer. Speaking of freezers, my is totally full now. Good to hear from you, Kim. Phyllis
Oh, and you can also use the zest in making home made soap. Dehydrate sliced oranges and use them for hanging around the house for that citrus smell. Frozen oranges, scoop of orange sherbet and ginger ale to a blender for a refreshing summer drink. Yummmmmm
Hi Debby, I always freeze my banana at their peak. When using for smoothies which is how we mostly use them, I let them slightly thaw and if I'm in a hurry I just put them down in a little water to thaw. Thanks for commenting, Phyllis
Hi Salobrena, The Valencia oranges are grown in California, USA and also Florida, USA. A bushel of the oranges cost $23.00 U.S. Dollars and the bushel contained 56 oranges that makes my cost .41 cents each. I usually get them cheaper around Christmas time. Thanks for watching from Spain.
I love to know where people live who watch my videos. Thanks again, Phyllis
Thank you so much for that video on oranges .. my tree had so many oranges and I didn’t know what to do with them after I had given some away .. this was such a clear and simple way .. now I can have oranges all year long .. thanks for sharing.
Missing you Phyllis I hope you are recovering and getting your strength back. Lots of love to you and Mr Buckie.
Hi phyllis. My mom took aspirin, bayer almost everyday all her life. She took them because of constant headaches She lived to the age of 86 years. Never had any other health issues until the very last year of her life, she got struck with cancer. But other than that my mom was very active. She was a great cook! Great mother! Anyhow, im really enjoying your videos have learned alot. Thank you so much!
Just going back into the archives to watch some of the older videos which I never saw before she passed. I never would have thought to have frozen oranges. Great tip!
From Singapore here, used to live in Santa Barbara for a couple of years. California is beautiful. God bless and thanks for the video.
You never fail to amaze me. My husband and I both marveled at how you peeled orange and we have never frozen oranges. Awesome thanks
Wow...I never thought to freeze oranges. Thank you for this video, I'll be buying oranges tomorrow.
Hi Miss Phyllis! Those oranges look beautiful. I watched your video about freezing lemons, too. You froze some lemon zest, but said your freezer was rather full in this video. Do you ever dehydrate zest from lemons, limes or oranges? My mom used to dehydrate a lot of her extra fruit, even tomatoes for chili or spaghetti sauce. Love you, your videos, your cute dogs and even Mr Bucky. I enjoy seeing home cooked meals from the time I grew up. I was born in '63. Mom was raised on a farm and learned to cook from scratch and from what was on hand. When you lived in the country, it was unheard of to jump in the car and go to the store for one or two things. It was wasteful of time and money. She also worked with the women during harvest time cooking meals for farm hands. She told us about not having enough dishes and silverware so, the men ate in shifts and the girls washed place settings, as soon as, the men got up from the table. It was likely that a dish was used, washed and used again 3-4 times at a given meal. Well, that story had nothing to do with oranges! Haha! Watching your videos brings back lots of memories of Moms' stories and my growing up. Thank you for that, Miss Phyllis. ❤🐩🐩🐾🐾❤
I have not gotten into dehydrating so far, maybe in the future. Really enjoyed your story about feeding the farm hands with not enough dishes to serve them all at one time.
How interesting your story was about life as a farmhand and cooking food for the farmers, thankyou.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
I zest my oranges and freeze the zest so I always have some on hand. I also take my veggie peeler and cut slices of the zest off being careful not to get the white part. Then I just go to my freezer when I am ready to mull apple cider and grab the sliced orange zest. I also dehydrate a lot of zest from lemons and oranges. I hate paying for spices if I can do it myself. So if you add up the savings from the farmers market not just for the juicy fruit by also the zest you have saved a lot.
I never knew you could freeze oranges! Amazing. Your tips are always informative.
I just found this video it is great 👍I never New you could freeze oranges.I hope you have done more videos😀 you make it so easy love 💘from South Wales
Thanks so much for posting this! I have a full tree of them and don't want them to go to waste!
Hi Phyllis, I enjoy your videos. With the oranges, if you zest the peel on the oranges first and put that zest in a freezer baggie, you will have orange zest for any recipe you need. I like to use the zest for orange cranberry scones and oatmeal cranberry cookies. The zest really adds flavor to those recipes. I didn't know you could freeze the orange itself. Thanks!
Thank you! I watched your lemon video too. Thanks for taking the time to share your tips too.
very helpful, thank you! most other websites say not to freeze oranges but I'd like to add them to smoothies.
Thank You so much Phyllis! I bought a huge bag of large oranges and so glad i can freeze them. :)
Great video, simple good explanations. thanks Phyllis
Thanks for sharing all your freezing fruits and vegetables videos, really appreciated.
I really like it
Thank you so much sweet lady. It was really helpful and specially the art of explaining your work. My husband brought 100 pieces of orange and I thought to store oranges for long time. So I searched for the method and watched your video. I am from Pakistan:-)
Hi. I love your videos. I have learned a great deal from you in the last two days. Thanks much!
I just found all your videos!! Thank you so much! This is helping me a ton!
Valencia are The best for juices! You remind me of my dear Great Aunt Eva I spent time with in the summer of my childhood. :)
I will do this. Last year I peeled, supremed, and dehydrated oranges till I had blisters. This winter I will be freezing. Thank you so much.
Ms.Phyllis,didn't know you could freeze oranges ,Thanks for the information
I didn't know this either, if I don't know how to do something, i always come to Mrs. Stokes page.
Watched several of your videos today .. Just love them.. Keep posting..
We live in Florida Miss Phyllis,
they freeze a lot of oranges !
Ms. Phyllis of course we ABSOLUTELY love your videos. I've watched many of them repeatedly. We've told many family, friends and coworkers about you. I've watched all of your "freezing" videos. I'm wondering could you do one video on exactly how long fruits and veggies can stay frozen? Thanks for sharing all of your tips and wisdom❤❤
U just blew me away thanks for the freezing oranges n your experience with it I'm grabbing my oranges now n peeling back I just got california oranges from sesame street but I can make magic happen I hope only got 2 bags I hoping to get some more goody bags u dig god bless n happy orange season
The pith on an orange is where bioflavonoids are located. Bioflavonoids help in the digestion of the vitamin C found in oranges.
also, bioflavonoids are good for pregnant moms for the prevention of spina bifida in their unborn.
Thank you so very much for this thoroughly informative video Phyllis:) My friend just gave me a whole bag of oranges from her tree and even after distributing them amongst family..I still have more than my husband and I can eat. What to do? Go to the computer and find out if and how I can freeze them! Your video came up through my search and I'm so glad I clicked on it. I especially appreciate your tutorial in how to peel them using a paring knife! Thank you!! New subscriber:)
Loved this! Ty!
Thanks that’s the fantastic idea 💕
great advice!!!!! love
Yes, this has been extremely helpful to me as well. Thank you for all your well planned videos. Love them all. In fact I only watch your channel and a few gardening channels. Most are just too political.💞💞💞
Thankyou for the great teaching video. I was told that oranges can't be frozen. I am going to try this, thanks again Phyllis.
Thank you so much for a great tutorial. I would have frozen them by slice but it makes more sense to do it quarters. :)
Thanks for the reply.
I was told the pith is good for people who have varicose veins. Miss Phyllis so very much.
Thanks dear i was a little sad about the lot of oranges i have left ❤
Wow! This is very useful!
So glad I found this video...answered my questions spot on!! Thanks!😊💖
Thank you very much. I had no idea you could freeze oranges. I live in N.E. and when I see a deal, I would love to buy them, but can't use them all. This past summer they were being sold at $ 1 each. now the prices are lower so in the freezer they go 😂 thanks again Phyllis .
Very helpful video
I just rec'd my shipment of organic Valencia's. I use them in smoothies. Thanks so much from "The Show Me" Missouri!
THANK YOU!! SEE ANOTHER THING I did not know you could freeze!!
gorgeous oranges!!! I bet it smelled the whole kitchen up wonderfully!!! mmmmmm
Tooo many Times to count I have tossed out oranges.... I HATE waste!!! I have at time's boiled on stove.. just for aroma...or make an orange glaze or such... just not to waste them...
Oh my I know those big beautiful oranges are 😋 delicious!
one of my favourites is Pomander balls, I have them all around the house for natural air fresheners, here's a link The Scent Of Christmas! Making an Orange Clove Pomander Ball!
I Clicked on the link says it's a Private video
missfitnus I wrote that 5 yrs ago. Maybe they changed there settings. Google it. 😊
Thank you Phyllis. Looks so easy, to peel the oranges your way..Going to do some freezing. Funny, I noticed I have the same green bowl.
Lorraine Paluck: hi, Lorraine. Is that a Tupperware bowl?
That drink sounds great, sure will be trying that. The frozen oranges are really the ice cubes. Thanks for the idea, Phyllis
Thank you for this idea
Pray you are healing
The pitch has enourmous nutrients in it. I would keep all I could on. I'll use mine for a juicer. Thank you very much!!!
+Paula Whalen I have a little trouble getting past the bitter taste of the pith - I do know it's very healthy.
Its not bitter when you juice it though, well, not to me. Have you tried juicing it? You can juice lemon peel but not orange peel.
Thank you Phyllis!
Thanks Phyllis🙏
Thanks for the information.😁
do you ever take a straw to take out more air from bags?
Thank you very much for explaining this.
Handy tips thanks.
thank you. very informative.
Can you take your bag out of the freezer and put in fridge to thaw and use the two oranges in two days? Or would I remove one orange and put the other immediately back in the freezer? Thank you so much
useful video,, Thank you
I'll be damn!! NEVER have I thought of freezing apples or oranges. You are awesome!! Thank you
Thanks so much…and you're right, the white pithy stuff (bioflavinoids) is jam packed with nutrients
Thank you
Side note, totally side note...
1:50 All that aggressivity in the voice. The dog has no choice but to listen to his master.
It's just show that you can control your dog without shouting loud. I like it!
Thank you for the video. Never knew oranges could be frozen. One question can you make juice and freeze it just like in your lemon juice video.?
Yes, you can freeze the juice, it will only keep for a couple of months in the freezer but it sure taste better than the pasteurized kind you get in the stores.
awsome thanks!!
I guess u could do that with any citrus fruits
wow.. liked your video ..
Hi, Phyllis:
Are those freezer bags quart sized, or do you prefer the gallon sized?
I have a bumper crop of oranges and lemons this year on my backyard trees, and cannot eat them all. I have given some away to neighbors, but still have a lot left on the trees. (I am in Northern CA). I thought maybe I should try and freeze some, and appreciate your video. I have heard that both oranges and lemons can get mushy if you freeze and then defrost them. Have you had that problem? I have navel oranges and what looks to be a Meyer lemon, but with slightly thicker skin.
Also, I've heard people say to freeze them both whole, but I only have a small bottom drawer type freezer under my fridge (all one unit), with no spare freezer, so my space is limited.
Thanks so much,
Joyce
Freezing both lemons and oranges whole seems to make them a little bitter so now I only freeze the juices in ice trays to use for smoothies. I have had good luck freezing the zest with added sugar.
Very informative
You made me hungry.
Thank you!
🎉thank you
Hi what did you do with the orange peel?
Saved some in the freezer already grated and the rest went in the compost box in the back yard.
Can you just eat them after defrosted? Or do they have to be in a smoothie? Just looking for ways to freeze fruits for consumption later.
Phyllis i would like to know if we can oranges, cant we just can them in plain water? And how does that turn out? I have mandarin oranges im afraid will go bad and i would like to can some small jars but i dont want to use sugar
What is the best time of year to buy oranges? Did you ever freeze clementines?
Could, also, freeze rinds for baking?
Have you frozen onion? I know you can buy it that way, but I have an argument with my grandma because she says it’s expensive to buy that but it lasts longer and no tears when you use them.
hi I'm having fruits shop but I'm having problems with maintaining freshness of fruits. so will u pls share some valuable ideas for Maintaining freshness of fruits.thank u
In the similar way can we freeze sweet lime too. Please reply.
Yes, you can freeze limes this way.
We have a satsuma tree. Can I freeze satsumas like this as well? Love the video!
+abedabun dawn Sorry I'm not familiar with this fruit, it looks like a tangerine to me. I have frozen tangerine juice in the same way I freeze fresh orange juice.
+Phyllis Stokes I will have to try it next year and see how well it works. I stood in front of walmart and gave away a few hundred satsumas because I didnt want then to ruin. If I could freeze them the way you froze your oranges, that would be fantastic!
where do you get the earthbound containers? Love, love, love your videos. Some are too much sugar for a diabetic, but some can be revised a little to compensate. ;-}
The containers come from the produce section at Walmart, they are filled with organic salad greens
The brand name now is Marketside.
They don't stick together without flash freezing on a tray first?
Modern self-defrosting freezers sure do impede the life and quality of frozen foods, yes.
I find foods at our local farmer's market, here in Utah, have a higher price tag than at the more competitive grocery stores, just usually better quality and taste. The exception is if you get there near closing time when the farmers don't want to take anything home and sell it for a steal, but the more popular items are gone within the first hour.
However, we do have a store (LoLo's) that guarantees the lowest produce prices in town and buys a lot of items from local growers, so knowing the best ways to put up produce I overflow my cart with is always helpful.
Have you ever heard of freezing apples for smoothies? I know the texture changes, so I found it odd, but someone out there is doing it.
Any tips for maximizing freezer space? My old freezer gave up the ghost a while back, and everything has felt very cramped ever since.
+AccordingToLorna I use the plastic fresh salad containers to organize my freezer - I'm not sure if that gives me more room but it sure helps to keep things in easy reach. My freezer stays at zero not the same as below 32 degrees, I have to defrost about 4 times per year, that little fan that keeps freezers from getting frost also causes the temperature to be higher than in the frost kind of freezer. That's probably the reason I never get freezer burn. Just a thought.
Yeah, I agree. I've tried both types of freezers, and while I hate defrosting, that temp change in the self-defrosters makes things start to melt, stick together, and get freezer burn faster. Modern tech tends to save time while lessening overall quality.
I found some helpful info on freezing apples. They can be anything from whole to made into pie filling (cooked or raw); they just have to be cooked or used in smoothies when thawed. (I'm so happy to learn oranges can still be used like fresh, because I have to limit eating them for health reasons).
One woman on TH-cam puts parchment paper into a pie dish, adds fresh sliced apples, sugar, thickener, cardamom, and ginger, freezes it overnight, and then transfers it to freezer paper and a zip bag. Space-saving pie filling.
Have you ever tried making a pie with oranges or grapes? I love cooked grapes. I've grilled them before, stems and all, and they were hot and sweet. I even tried steam juicing watermelon once. YIKES!
Thanks for your videos.
Thanks very much for the video I really appreciate it. Just to note though! the white of the orange is very good for you, so my only observation is that you are loosing lots of good nutrients by throwing away so much.
If possible organic oranges and limes lemon are way better because the skin is absolutely good for our bodies.
All the same thanks again and much love to all. 🙏🏾💕👍🏿
I am wondering why you don't put peaches in boiling water to remove skins:
My mother nor my grandmother ever put them in boiling water so I just do it like they did it.
Of course they were always doing multiple bushels and it would have taken a lot of boiling
water and time.
Your dog started barking at the same time as mine, I didn’t even hear your’s
thanks for the video but you didn't have to spend half of it showing us how to peel and take apart oranges. we already know how to do that
On the contrary, I'd like to thank this you-tuber for showing exactly those steps precisely *because* I was not familiar with the best way to peel and slice citrus. This video helped me so much! Don't make the mistake of assuming that everyone has the same life experience. We are all coming from different backgrounds and different things to share. Positivity is the way to go! Peace and light...
+Kurt Mason she is showing you a technique, some people don't even need knives for oranges ........... just like that like she said...... ok so be nice :)
