    Marmalade gets my vote
  • Juice and freeze, fruit salad, canning in kilner jar, marmalade, lollies, and frozen slices - something I do with lemons to go in my G&T, a frozen slice quickly melts in a G&T!!!

    Orange curd or an orange tart, or an orange and almond cake.

    I also like just a little fresh squeezed orange alone as a salad dressing, and would consider making a chicken dish with orange juice, onion, garlic as a sauce fore pan fried chicken.

    Oranges can also be frozen whole - I have done this. Very easy to grate for zest too.

    Can also be sliced and dehydrated.

    Freeze them and eat them like ice cubes. Or stew them with cloves and sugar for a dessert/snack

    Preserving in booze of somekind or jarred in syrup if your not into booze, make orange liquer with the rinds, grate the zest and freeze for later use.
