Orange Juice in a Jar

52oz of orange juice is about 6 ½ cups

Orange juice can be freeze-dried whether it's fresh-squeezed, 100% juice, or from concentrate. If using juice from concentrate, be sure to add the required amount of water before freeze-drying. When using store-bought juice from a carton or container, opt for varieties without high fructose corn syrup or added sugars. Always check the ingredient list for any components that may affect the freeze-drying process. For
this recipe, I used Simply Orange
