We have 2 orange trees in our backyard and they produced some of the best oranges we've ever had this year- the only problem is that there are so many of them! I've been giving them away but even that only puts a small dent in the supply. These suckers are HUGE and very sweet and juicy, I can't believe how good they are this year.
Does anyone have any ideas on things we can do with them other than juicing and slicing them up? I was thinking of making a bunch of orange marmalade and canning it but I'm not that experienced with canning. I need ideas, I don't want these babies to go to waste!

Okay, this is a bit of a process but will be well worth it:
1. You file the papers to adopt me.
2. The longest part will be the immigration process, but I've done this before (marriage) so I know what's involved and what to do.
3. The trickiest part may be convincing the adoption and immigration folks because I'm slightly older than most "children." In fact, I might even be older than you are, which is a tiny wrench in the plan. (I'm 49. We good?)
4. Assuming that steps 1 through 3 go without a hitch, I come live with you. Or I could live outside, near the trees. Either way is fine.
5. I eat oranges all day, every day.
Problem (almost) solved?
Seriously, though, I'm really envious. I love oranges. They're one of my top 3 favorite fruits. You're so lucky.

Here are some suggestions on what to do with a bunch of oranges.
You could take the excess oranges to a homeless shelter, nursing home, or food bank.
Before I retired from teaching, people would occasionally bring excess food, supplies, etc. to school for the teachers. It was always a nice surprise.
