The moisture content in the fresh rinds seems to cloud up the Alcohol and when I think on this, the essential oils of the rind are what give the most scent, not the moist pith. Cheers Ron I made oranges with clove spikes pomadors againg this year and the only one that did not mildew was the one that was already too dried out for eating. I guess you could do a tincture of that and get results. any thoughts welcome. Love Bb --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.

How would you work it...?. carefully peel the skin off the dried with the cloves intact as much as possible then tincture that..?....... it would be interesting to see if any new notes materialise from this single tincture. Also drying a fresh one in an oven when cloved and oranged may give a caramelised note when tinctured. anyone else done anything like that?
