Thanks, we do have a couple of juice places in town, and I wouldn't have 
thought of that!  And thanks to the others who wrote with suggestions.  

I have tried taking the pith off the last couple of mandarin skins with a 
spoon before they go in the freezer and it seems to work fairly well, 
also reduces volume significantly.  Will try the "after a couple of 
boils" on all others that went already.
