Don’t let those oranges, satsumas, and tangerines go to waste. We all do it. We see a sale on oranges and we buy a sack and they end up going bad before we can eat them all. Well here is a simple way to make the most out of your purchase and not let them go to waste.
Ingredients:
Freshly squeezed juice from citrus
Sugar
Water
Lemon juice
Rind from half a lemon
Instructions:
Squeeze juice from whatever citrus you have.
Measure juice once done and put in sauce pan
Add equal amounts of sugar and water
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice of half a lemon for every 3 cups of total liquid and a shaving of lemon rind.

Remove from heat and let cool.
Once cool, strain and put in jars and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Cocktails (my favorite)
Marinades for meat or seafood
