Thank you Mrs. H, I did not know that. I always keep oranges in the fridge during season times. I will have to do that with the ones I have in the fridge now. What a great tip!

p.s. I cooked your BBQ beef sandwiches & my family LOVED them! I was so proud that the BBQ sauce was homemade too. Thank you.
