Title: Orange Rum Cordial - Glorious Liqueurs
Categories: Makebooze
Yield: 1 1/2 pints
| 4 | md | Navel oranges |
| 1 | md | Lemon |
| 3 | c | Light Rum |
| 1 | ts | Vanilla extract |
| 1 1/8 | c | Granulated brown sugar* |
| 8 | dr | Yellow food coloring, opt. |
| 1 | dr | Red food coloring, opt. |
| 1 | ts | Glycerine, opt. |
Rinse and dry the oranges and the lemon. Use the shredding side of a cheese grater to scrape only the orange part off the oranges; be careful not to scrape off the white, bitter part. Scrape the peel off half the lemon the same way. Put the orange and lemon zests in a glass jar; add the rum. Seal tightly and let steep for 3 days in a cool, shaded place, shaking the jar once a day.
Strain the flavored rum into a clean bowl; whisk in the sugar until it dissolves and the mixture clears. Stir in the optional colorings, vanilla, and glycerine. Pour the liquid into a clean glass bottle, or bottles, seal tightly, and allow to mature for at least a week before using. Store at room temperature.
Note: To make superfine sugar, whirl 1 1/8 cups "Brownulated" sugar in a food processor or in two batches in a blender at highest speed, until fine but not powdered.
