I was going to mention the same thing Malcolm mentioned about separation. Are these Valencias? If so, then skip the rest of this note and enjoy your frozen OJ! If not, have you tried the juice after leaving in the fridge overnight? If it tastes fine the next day, you'll be good. If it tastes bitter, it may be a waste of your time to juice it all and then freeze it; it won't taste any less better when thawing it out later. Good luck to ya!

I can Orange Juice, Grapefruit Juice and Sectionized Grapefruit every year. I would strongly discourage you to use a pressure canner as the excessive heat would change the flavor considerably. Besides, the waterbath is really QUICK! To do the juice, simply juice the fruit, put in jar and waterbath for 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts. If you will add a tiny amount of sugar, maybe 1 cup sugar to 12-15 cups juice (or even less) it will help. The sugar helps to remove some of the canned effect. The flavor DOES change, but it tastes very similar to the majority of the frozen/bottled citrus juices at the grocery store. The trick is to chill the juice, shaking a couple of times. Then it truly taste better if you add a little ice water right when you are going to drink it. For the sections -- using a very sharp knife, cut the skin and membrane off the entire fruit. Make sure all the membrane is off as it will make it easier to sectionize and also it is bitter after heated. Then, using a plate knife (dinner knife) and starting at one end, choose an area where there are several larger sections together and start at the left side of the farthest left of the grouping. Slip the knife in with the cutting edge (even though it is the dull kind of knife) up. Push all the way through the fruit and lift up so the knife slides up besides the membrane upward to remove the knife. Then put the knife back in the same section on the right hand side of the section and repeat the process. The section of fruit will fall out. Then, using the knife, flip the membrane over to the left and continue around the entire fruit. After you are sick of sectionizing, go back and remove the seeds. Gently lay the sections in a wide mouth jar. Fill with a very light sugar/water syrup. We do not like sugar, so I use about 1 cup sugar to 12-15 cups water. Even that tiny amount really keeps the fruit from tasting so canned. Jar, seal and waterbath for 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts. I am known to push the sections in pints to 15 minutes, just being careful.

One of our high end large grocery stores here in the Southeast has the small cans of orange, grapefruit and prune juice in 6-pak cans. I have also seen small plastic bottles in the "plastic" juice section, but they do have an expiration date, about 2 or 3 weeks. We also have the packs of O.J. in the refigerated section in the mini milk carton shapes, wrapped 4 in a group. They too have an expiration date. The cans always last the longest for me. But the cans are getting harder and harder to find I will admit. They are costly, but worth it when you only need them at certain times or for certain needs. Good Luck in your hunt for them..

I have several Tangerines also, a Satsuma, 2x Honey and what I believe is a Fremont. The Fremont and Satsuma are growing nicely but just beginning to produce a few fruit. The Fremont: It does feel as if it is getting very close to being ripe. The fruit does show some canker on it. The Honey's are not doing as well. They are very susceptible to canker and something else I don't remember right now. I am reluctant to use pesticides, and have read that they are quite susceptible to these things when young, but become more resistant as they get older. Time will tell what happens and how I'll deal with it.
