Orange Juice Prices To Rise


{Our new electric juicer}


One of the best things about living in Florida is fresh orange juice. Bill and I love to go right to the grove and get the oranges and make our own. We don't make it regularly, just if we are headed in the direction of the grove because it is about 30 minutes from the house. But, with the horrible winter that we had and the below freezing temps for 8 days in a row overnight, there was a lot of damage to the citrus crops in Florida.


Now, Tropicana (our preferred brand of orange juice) has announced that they will have to increase their prices and shrink the sizes of their containers. So it looks like Bill and I will be making our own orange juice a lot more in the near future.
The juicer is quite easy to use and has two filters, one for more pulp and one for less pulp - we like more pulp. One bag of oranges makes a 1/2 gallon of juice, that tastes SO good.
Then of course, Bill does the clean-up because he is the best husband in the world!!
Until next time..... Lorie
