Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Made more than I needed at this time. Can it be frozen for later?
Yes, it can. The consistency may change a bit but it can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months.

This is good, but I think it really didn't need so much water. It took a lot longer to boil down to a thicker consistency. I also added a little Truvia to balance out the chili powder.

I needed barbecue sauce for a recipe and had forgotten to buy some. This worked really well. I might never need to buy barbecue sauce again!
