It’s that time of year. You found a really good deal on oranges but you purchased a few more than you can eat. Now what do you do with them? Here are a few suggestions from Not Just Beans to get you started.

1. Make juice out of the oranges and then use the peels for Candied Orange Peels.

2. Use the leftover syrup from Candied Orange Peels on pancakes or French Toast. The syrup can also be used to make popsicles.

3. Wash peels thoroughly. Grate the peel before using and freeze the zest for later use.

4. Cut up orange segments and use as a garnish for salads. Use in fruit salad or sliced as a side dish.

5. Cut up slices and use a garnish for meat or relish dishes.

6. Cut up peels. In a saucepan add peels, 1 cinnamon stick, a few cloves and fill to the top with water. Simmer for a nice potpourri or dry peels and use in dry potpourri.
