This week the spam folder brought me a recipe for Orange Juice. I have to admit, I never thought of a recipe for Orange Juice. I always thought ‘well, you juice oranges and then you have orange juice!’. Who knew that it’s actually a process? Apparently my spam folder did and isn’t it nice of it to share that information with me.
Orange Juice
- Juice of twenty-five oranges,
- Grated rind of ten oranges,
- One pound sugar
Place all ingredients in a bowl and then allow to stand for three hours. Strain and fill into sterilized bottles and process for forty minutes in a hot-water bath. Cork, and then finish like orange syrup.
Note.Soak the cork in boiling water for one hour to soften. This will permit you to use a slightly larger cork and insure a good closing.
To use orange syrup: Place four tablespoons in a glass and then fill with carbonated water.
To use orange juice for making orangeade, dilute with equal parts of water and juice and chill, then serve.
So buying twenty-five oranges at once is a bit out of the budget this week. Plus apparently I’d need to buy bottles and corks for the bottles. So it’s out this week.
It’s an interesting recipe though, I’ve never bottled anything like this. I’ve made the occasional preserves because hot biscuits with blueberry preserves are a wonderul treat, but I’ve never actually bottled a liquid.
This recipe also comes from Mrs. Wilson’s Cookbook, another spammer favorite. I guess since it’s available online, they just copy and paste.
Until next time, toodles!
