Oh dat sum good sippin right there. Cut a few jugs of Everclear around the camp fires at Rondevous in Colorado. Sure keeps you warm when the fire goes out. Looks good thanks for sharing. Ferdi
And satsumacello as well! Excellent crop of citrus this year, grapefruit wasn't ready yet:
Keep the good stuff inside and use the peels, pack it up with some Everclear (serious alcohol):
Wrap it up in foil for 4 - 6 weeks and place in a cool spot. Prepare a simple sugar syrup, strain the citrus mix, add it, and bottle it up. Put in some small bottles for a fine liqueur as Christmas gifts. Can't help myself being such a refined, distinguished gentleman
Meanwhile, fried some fresh shrimp:
Kept the batter light. Works for me.

Tasty......I tell ya what else is good is Skeeter Pee, Basically where you ferment Lemon juice, It is much much better than any kind of hard lemonade.

Interesting about putting the rinds in sugar afterwards Cappy. You're right, a good way to put good use of the rinds of the citrus trees we have. I'll prepare some more once my grapefruits come in. Was thinking about doing the same thing this weekend with some of my black berries that I had picked last Spring since I have several gallons in the freezer. I was thinking the Everclear would go further since it's essentially ethanol. Nice posts, thanks.

Are those Meyer lemons? My Meyers aren't ready yet. Picked a few tangerines yesterday.
Not sure about the lemon variety. Bought at Lowes's 15+ years ago. Same with the satsuma's, not sure on the variety either - they are just now coming in. Looks like the grapefruit another month.

I bought a satsuma earlier this year. Had a hundred small ones, and ended up with a dozen. Tree is still very small, but the dozen held on and ripened. They're small too, and a bit tart. I'm hoping they'll sweeten when the tree is bigger.
