    You could also just do the simple jam/conserve thing like I did just a
couple weeks ago.  I made up pear and ginger conserve (jam by any other
name) and apple butter, put it sweet little jelly jars for gifties for  the
Royals to hand out.   I did  Chokecherry jelly as well, but that's a local
specialty which makes them quite unique  {yes Finnebhar, as soon as I can
drive again, your jars o'jelly are being sent}

oranges around where I work (Ventura, California...home of millions of
farms).<

        Depending on how far back your memory goes,  there was at least 3
times that many  orchards when I lived there.  OH OH I'm traveling that way
the 17th of November!!  My kid  {and most my family}lives in your area!
Maybe we can talk ?
