Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice + BONUS USE!!!

We've have had a lot of oranges in our Bountiful Baskets lately.


Too many for us to eat before our next basket, in which we always seem to get a citrus fruit.  So, today we borrowed a juicer from a friend and decided to make fresh squeezed O.J.!
{ By the way---totally going to get a juicer at the thrift store, I see them there all the time for like .50 cents--a great investment indeed! }
 First things first, cut all oranges in half.


Next, get to juicin'!  Colton was a great helper and squeezed until the last drop came out---none went to waste!


Now this is what you call FRESH ORANGE JUICE!


I'm not one to like pulp in my orange juice, so I put a strainer on the top of the pitcher and poured the juice into that so that it would be pulp free. 

NOW---THE BONUS!!

I found a pin on Pinterest the other day about a homemade household cleaner using orange peels and vinegar.  Simple right?  It's not very often that I have about 30 peels laying around, so I thought this would be a perfect time to try it out!

Here's the pin:



Easy as that!  Vinegar and a jar full of orange peels.  I will let you know how it works!  I'm a HUGE vinegar user for household cleaning anyways, so I probably will love it.
