Eating the skin of an orange

Here is another use for orange peel. Take the peelings from two oranges, two cups of sugar and 1 pint of vodka. Put ingredients in a bottle and place in the refrigerator. Shake once a day for a couple weeks (or until sugar competely dissolves.) Discard peelings and sip slowly or use in mixed drink.

Sip slowly?! Wuss.

I was eating an orange not long ago, as I do upon occasion, and as usual was left with the skin after consuming the fleshy innards. Not being near a waste receptacle, I figured that if the inner was edible, the outer would follow suit, and ate the remaining skin.

Don’t try that with a prickly pear!

Or skip the vodka, press the peels, ferment and then distill the results and drink like brandy. Oh wait, the folks who make Cointreau already do that. Never mind.
