Freezing Orange Zest

Why didn't I start doing this years ago???  I have several recipes that call for orage zest including Orange Poppy Seed Olive Oil Cake (and the two other orange poppy seed cakes referenced), Cranberry Bread, and Spicy Orange Shrimp. When I'm using the zest I prefer to start with an organic orange, but organic oranges are not always easily available.  This was especially true before Thanksgiving this year when I wanted to make Cranberry Bread.  Soon after, however, I not only found organic naval oranges but found they were on special. I bought a bunch to have for dessert with Coconut Macaroons. As I was peeling the first orange, I thought, "Wait a minute this is organic zest going to waste!"  The solution: 

Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of a flat, freezable (with cover) container. Using a zester, then a grater remove the zest from the orange and spread across the parchment paper.  Freeze. Remove zest and put in jars/freezer containers and (while still frozen) freeze for later use.  Peel and enjoy the orange(s)!
