I was hoping the tangerines had been sweeter but they were a bit bitter, but the oranges were sweet and great for juice. I really want a good orange marmalade recipe to make good use of them. When I got back to school I gave a lot away to adults and today to students. I've also given some to friends and neighbors. It seems this bag of oranges has multiplied. It's been amazing.Elbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061877199510660929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11908074.post-7659920183125755532008-12-18T10:59:00.000-04:002008-12-18T10:59:00.000-04:00Did you get to eat any yourself? :)Did you get to eat any yourself? :)Rosangela Canino-Koninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772885034951971715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11908074.post-37186197736317595002008-12-17T23:28:00.000-04:002008-12-17T23:28:00.000-04:00WOW....that is a ton of oranges what a great way t...WOW....that is a ton of oranges what a great way to give back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11908074.post-61218296585424362462008-12-17T23:10:00.000-04:002008-12-17T23:10:00.000-04:00Wow.

But every year we tried to find someone that wanted them. There were Hudderites Colonies near town, and we eventually got some to come collect our apples so they could use it.<BR/><BR/>I have been looking at lots of urban farming kind of sites and there is a growing movement to use land more effectively to feed the hungry in our country. A Church in LA recently turned their lawn into a garden for the hungry.
