Today I experimented with canning citrus fruit. I canned half-pints of grapefruit, and pints of oranges and lemons. I used orange juice for the liquid and processed them in a boiling bath for 30 minutes. Can’t wait to taste them to see how they turned out.

Please let us know. I made some horrible jam last year because of an excess of lemons and grapefruit and oranges. (I have never mastered the use of pectin!). I never thought of preserving the citrus by just canning them, but that's a great idea. Wish I thought of it....
