What to do with frozen orange juice?

A while ago I had a heap of oranges and everybody was getting sick of them so I squeezed the juice and popped it in the freezer. I think I have the juice of 5 oranges. I thought I'd make some marmalade or something like that for Xmas hampers but all my recipes are for orange pulp as well as the juice. Does anybody have any suggestions what I could make with them keeping in mind, I can put the product into jars and give away. I don't think a jar of orange juice will go down really well. :D Come to think of it, might give one to MIL.

    Any reason you can't just drink it or use it in a fruit salad? ;)

    You could indeed buy an orange or two more and get the zest off them (use them up some other way) and make orange curd.

    Just use the recipe for lemon curd from our Old Style Recipe Collection but use orange instead.

    If you do report back and tell us what it tasted like. I think I'll try the curd. I love lemon curd so it should be ok.
