orange marmalade, pickled oranges, store in refrigerator to reduce spoilling and getting over ripe .. Grocery store oranges are always refrigerted until they are put out for sale.

They last if you keep them in the fridge. If you don't like them cold, just keep a few out on the counter. When we lived in Naples, Florida, we had lemon, red grapefruit, oranges, mangos and avocado trees. We used to ship a lot to our parents here in MN. We always had lots of fruit in the fridge. The grapefruit alone was much larger than a softball and the avocados were up to five pounds (the trees were huge)! The avocadoes were over the carport and sounded like a bomb went off when they fell off the tree. Our oranges and grapefruit kept for a long time in the fridge.

  I was sad to move away, but my Dad was ill and it was time to head that way. He had mesothelioma from working as a salesman with a company that dealt in insulation for years. We sold off everything and left, didn't have anywhere to go, so moved in with my parents for a few weeks until we found apartment. Even though it was forty-five miles away, it was where my Mom and Dad got their medical treatment. We wish we were back their all the time, but it is an expensive place to live, even worse now. Now that we have a nice RV (oldest son bout a huge 5th wheel), we may go for a visit sometime, or go to Galveston where he was born. I used to send the fruit from our trees to my parents to use and share with others. I never say them so big in my life, and so good!

  Understand completely, I would have done the same thing. Wonderful story. Yes, it is very expensive there now. Any of those areas are at this point. Take as many RV trips as you can! It is a beautiful way to see the country.
