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.

An easy way to give simple apple cider some new life. I buy the cheap kind and simmering it like this for a few hours adds a lot of flavor.
