SC - War leftovers

[sdrake]

I decided to try to candy some ginger last week - I aparently greatly
underestimated the cooking time and finally put it away and went to bed -
but I used the sugar syrup to make lemonade - everyone really liked it -
said it was very refreshing.......  I made an orange cordial using oranges
that were left over from the rained out gulf wars - they had a huge bucket
of them and some of them were starting to get green and fuzzy so I made them
give them to me (instead of trashing them) - it's a nice cordial, semi
screwdriverish but people like it.  I also made a grape cordial using the
leftover gallon container of grape jelly from gulf wars.  It took almost 2
years of maceration for the jelly to break down enough but it's really good.
I call it Gulf Wars Grape.

70's JOY has a good citrus peel candying recipe.  I'm beginning to think I
should have a copy of this cooking 'bible' at work to answer these
questions!
Well anyway.

About 2 years ago, I had all this syrup left over from candying orange peel
and
ginger, so I added vodka and made a really nice cordial called "Nasty Old
Feast
Leftovers."  It's a household favorite, but we're running out, so it's time
to
start candying again.
