To be fair, it took me until this year to consider doing so!
I routinely shove gluts of raspberries, tomatoes, chillies etc from the garden into the freezer; and I've diced economy-sized bags of peppers down into conveniently shake-straight-into-wok-from-frozen freezer bags ever since I was a student - but for some reason freezing citrus fruit never occurred to me.
Maybe it's one of these things like pizza-toast - not a original idea, but one that is repeatedly invented by individuals ;)
A note on the citrus slices though - it seems very efficient space-wise to lay them out on a sheet of *something* when freezing (because the sheets can be stacked - but grease proof paper is a bad choice of material, because it does manage to soak up the juice before it freezes, meaning that you have to try and peel off frozen paper that has tried to fuse itself to the fruit. I plan to get hold of some of those silicone baking sheets before I do this again!
