DH wants to cook an American recipe which calls for concentrated orange juice. We used to be able to buy it from the freezer section of the supermarket in small cans, but having searched all of them, it's no longer available. I've seen several questions on the net with people from the UK and Australia asking what can be used as a substitute because it isn't available, and some of the answers have been rather rude (like "You'll find it in the freezer section, dear!" and "Just go buy some." from people who just can't seem to grasp the fact that it's not available. It seems to be readily available in the US, but not elsewhere.

Is there a substitute that can be used instead. I know you can make your own through a long process of part freezing and sieving fresh orange juice, but the time involved isn't worth it. We can get orange extract, but that's extremely concentrated and you couldn't possibly use the third of a cup of that which the recipe calls for. Orange extract would mean that the liquid volume in the recipe would be reduced, but I suppose that could be replaced with water.

Any suggestions?
