Citrus fruit is a good buy right about now.
The only problem with citrus is all that rind.
If you've got a composter, it's smelling lemon fresh.
If not, your garbage can is.
Fruit Rind can also be made into a snack.
Yes, really.
There's a recipe for Crystal Citrus Peel in my Purity Cookbook.
I had a grapefruit which I substituted for one of the oranges, made a few changes, and it worked just as well.
