Freezing Citrus Juices To get the most juice from a fruit, roll it on a hard surface, pressing gently while rolling. Cut and squeeze out the juice. Do not press the oil from the rinds, as the oil will make the juice bitter. Sweeten before freezing, if desired. Small cubes are easy to handle and may be added to punch or used instead of ice cubes in cold drinks.
Valencia oranges produce the best juice for freezing.
After squeezing, fill clean freezer cartons or jars. Heavy gauge glass canning and freezer jars are best. Leave 1- inch headspace for expansion. Squeeze juice from fruit. Leave 1-inch headspace, seal, label, date, and freeze for up to 4 months.
