Orange-Vanilla Liqueur image

Doesn't exactly taste like creamsicles, but similar--the vanilla does soften the bite of the orange somewhat in that direction. To drink in liqueur glasses or pour over ice cream, angelfood cake, etc. Makes a delightful gift. Be sure to use vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla flavoring; the same goes for the orange extract. Times listed do not include 2 weeks for the liqueur to sit and infuse.

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large oranges
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange extract
1 pint vodka

Steps:

  • Pare the peel from each orange in a spiral, producing a 1-inch-wide strip; try to get mostly the orange zest and leave most of the white membrane on the fruit.
  • Put the peels in a saucepan with the 1 cup water plus the corn syrups and sugar.
  • Bring to a boil and let boil, stirring constantly, 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the extracts.
  • Let cool to room temperature and add the vodka.
  • Pour into a jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid and let stand at least 2 weeks.
