That's true... I could also have grapefruit marmalade made as well. I guess there lots of ways they could be preserved. Just realized, I don't have a bee hive or know much about that, so I don't have honey, not that I couldn't buy it.
I don't drink, but I have made wine in the past, and the juice could be blended quite well into the wine and stored for a very long time as well. Guess the alcohol could be boild or distilled out though. I also have a vineyard section in what's left of my tiny orchard, they're Tomsons green, but can be used as wine grapes. I don't have space for the storrage of most of that though, LOL! Um, I almost live off the land in that way. I used to go out into the garden and just eat the okra or brockly and so on, right off the plants.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
