We has some orange juice leftover in the fridge from when the kid came home for Christmas. It's going to bad pretty soon, and I hate throwing stuff away. So why not can it up? Citrus juice has a massive amount of acid in it, so it's super easy to can - and you don't even need a pressure canner. Just water bath (or steam can) quarts or smaller jars for 15 minutes. For larger jars like 1/2 gallon, you may want to go longer, say 20 minutes.

Totally agree on the leftover challenge. It gets even trickier when you're only one person.

As long as the product isn’t too thick and won’t get thicker in the canning process, you could probably pressure can leftovers using the canning time for the longest ingredient. I made. Vegetable beef soup last night and I could have canned the leftovers using the pressure and time for the beef, that being the ingredient that would need the longest canning time. If the dish is too thick, you can freeze it.

The OJ has already been pasteurized so the natural vitamin C complex has been destroyed. The added acids later on fortify it with ascorbic acid which is 1 type of vitamin C and the only manufactured 1 they use to fortify the OJ. A whole orange has other acids that create a more complete and natural vitamin C the body can assimilate.

I got into canning because I didn't want to have to throw things, like potatoes, away. I started dehydrating because I got tired of not having celery on hand. Now, as long as I keep up on it, I always have celery, carrots and onions in the pantry. So, you're right canning/dehydrating are great ways to keep your pantry stocked and cuts down on the waste.

I have canned batches of orange juice with great success, I even use the same method to store cool bottles of 'fresh juice' in the fridge. I juice the oranges, then check the pH in order to avoid botulism you need a pH of 4.6 or lower, I usually aim for around 4.3. If the pH is higher, then you can lower it using lemon or lime juice. I think it is because of the variability in orange sweetness/ acidity that they may not recommend it. I strain the juice through muslin, then pasteurise for 5 minutes at 87.7C. I can as in the video. The juice has a wonderful, smooth taste - even after months.

I have OJ canned two years ago from Aldi 😊to drink later. Since it’s already pasteurized I only heat until about 165f and water bath until about 180f for 5 minutes ( I don’t boil since that really makes it bitter) It doesn’t look appealing in the jar after 2 years UNTIL you shake it . It has lost some of its bright orange color ( I store in dark cabinet out of the light ). It takes like a mix between OJ with some grapefruit juice added. I add about 1 Tbs sugar per quart when I can and that helps. I love having it on my shelf ☺️.

I have been freezing my fresh squeezed orange juice in mason jars for years. I also Freeze apple cider when I get it from the Amish market.

This is genius!!! Why haven’t I ever thought of this?! We go through juice and then all of a sudden, no one wants the juice… I need to keep this in mind

Thank you Rachel. I'm new at Waterbath canning and your suggestions are great. No more pouring it down the drain when company leaves. 😃

I never would have thought to can orange juice. We canned apple cider for the first time this year, 27 gallons worth. It was a fun family activity. I have also done grape juice. I might have to keep an eye out for a good sale on orange juice now, it never lasts long around here though.

I love this idea! We only drink orange juice on occasions, and it seems my son only wants it when I don't want to go back out for one thing. Thank you so much!

Thanks for doing the taste test! I'm definitely going to try this.

I have thought of this, but never tried it. I had read online that OJ can go bitter with canning. Has anyone ever experienced this? Rachel, can you follow up when you open one :)

Yes I have canned orange juice (both prepared and fresh squeezed), to me canned orange juice tastes like the stuff that came in the Donald Duck cans back in the day. It just tastes weird and bitter to me.

@cbass2755 2 жыл бұрын

@@AliciasInTheKitchen Do you think adding sugar and lemon, or something to it to take away the bitterness? I'm just thinking, I never did it yet...😁

It can, to me it just ends up tasting like grapefruit juice if it sits too long. :D

I canned the ball book recipe for grapefruit, peach (I used my peach butter from the summer), orange, and pineapple juice a few weeks ago. The recipe named four fruit nectar was right! It was delicious!!.... until I canned it. I could have drunk the entire batch (I had half a pint leftover that wouldn't fit) I drank it warm and I'm still craving it! However, I had heard about the bitterness and opened a jar once it had cooled and I was so disappointed 😞 it did turn bitter...I froze it for my kids in popsicle molds and they ate them OK but it definitely wasn't the same. I'm eager to hear Rachel's experience!

Loving your channel!! In an episode over a year ago I watched this morning you talked about a pumpkin bread pudding. It was the day your power went out while baking bread. Did you ever film that recipe? We have tons of pumpkin and would love to try something like that.

This reminds me that I freeze buttermilk. The smallest carton I can buy is a quart and my cornbread recipe uses a cup. So when I open a carton of buttermilk to make a batch of cornbread, I freeze the remainder in one-cup measures.

I for the first time this past spring canned fresh lemon juice, and flavored lemon juice. DELICIOUS! I ended up making like 4 batches by fall. I would be interested in canning orange from fresh!
