My husband cuts up oranges or grapefruit for us almost every morning and then freezes the peels to throw out on trash day. I needed some orange zest for a recipe so I went into the freezer, got some of the frozen orange peels and zested them. Tasted great!SavoringTime in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416968440250548090noreply@blogger.com
