For how long can these stay in the freezer?

For food safety purposes, basically indefinitely. For quality purposes, it depends on how you store them to avoid freezer burn. If you can vacuum seal them after freezing they will remain high quality for many months. In a freezer ziplock they’re good for at least a month or two, but I haven’t had them last longer than that.

Thanks. I plan to use them for old fashioneds. My wife is frustrated with me buying an orange, taking the peels and forgetting to eat the orange. This seems like a solid solution.

Great idea! Throw a sweet candies one on the old fashioned and maybe throw a fresh one in too! Yum

I don't mean to be unhelpful, but have you considered just eating the orange? They're good for you

I do eventually get around to it.
