  • Make an orange drizzle cake and if your not keen on oranges then give it to someone who is a friend as an unexpected gift .Pass on your good luck and you never know it may 'bounce back at you'
  • I'd make orange cake, too :)

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas.

    Obviously juice them... Tesco were reducing their Jaffa oranges as the date was about to expire. Nothing wrong with them which is the crazy thing. But I got them for 3p per bag (No I did not take then all there were 100's)
    Oranges 2 for 1p.... :D

    Marmalade comes to mind. Lots of fresh squeezed juice to be drunk or made into lollies, sliced into a jug of pims?

    I saw the guy in Lidl yesterday sorting through the oranges and he was pulling a lot of bags off display, must have been at least 30 bags went but I did not see what was done with them.

    Another vote for marmalade and ice-lollies :)
