Can you take them to your local food shelter? I would imagine that they don't get a lot of fresh fruit.

The idea of juicing them and freezing the juice is a good one. You could go one step further and freeze the juice in ice trays. Good snack for kids.

RE: Recipes Using Citrus Fruits
Be sure to use some for eating, with recipes or juicing, but think about that decorating idea someone gave earlier. I dehydrated slices of oranges and grapefruit and made a garland on heavy string, strung along with large wooden beads, and decorated with large natural raffia bows/streamers on the ends. I hung it from the mantel that first Christmas, now it's above a double doorway permanently. Also use tiny cookie cutters to cut shapes from some of the rind, and let them dry naturally on paper towels. They can be glued on anything you want to decorate. The rind doesn't shatter easily when dried.

Hi. I just peel and clean the white skin and seeds out and cut in sections and add a can or 2 of chunk pineapple with it own juice. I use as a breakfast dish. It's good for snacks too, and keeps well in the refrigerator.
