Ingredients

2/3 cup

1/2 cup chopped candied orange peel

1/4 cup

grated zest of one orange

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

1. Mix everything together in a bowl, then pack into a jar. Cover. 2. Let the mixture stand for at least one to three days before using.

If the liquor has absorbed quickly, and the mixture appears dry, add another tablespoon or so, just enough so the mixture is thoroughly moistened. 3. Add to an apple or pear-based fruit filling for a pie or crisp prior to baking.
