Why don't people can citrus sections? You can buy them in the cold section of the grocery store but I never hear about anyone doing this at home.
I do.

It is not like fresh, but when you don't have fresh, it is good enough to eat.
I was a strange child and even though we had fresh citrus, I liked canned citrus juice.
The sections are good, a different texture than fresh, but I guess you have to think of it like apple butter or dried fruit. They are something else unto themselves other than a fresh apple.
Here are more citrus things.

Thank you and KDBeads for your response. I had found that pick your own site and was encouraged that at least the technique was out there but I had never heard of anyone doing citrus. I buy the canned pink grapefruit and lust after the jarred fruit and then it hit me. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute. Cans, jars, this is possible! Glad to know it's possible by mortals and not just large factories. I'm taking my canning class tomorrow and will most certainly put up some grapefruit when it's trippin' over grapefruits time. I love them but not every day and would most certainly like them even more when they're not in season!
