Tamarindo y Sobrante

Navel & Cara Cara Orange Citrus Stock

Directions

1. Take 20-30 spent (juiced) citrus shells and add them to a 5 qt stock pot. Fill your pot with water (3 inches from the top) and put on med-high heat until it starts to bubble. Slowly work the temperature back until you see a steady bubble. Do not let boil or even simmer. There should be a steady bubble or two every second or so. This takes patience as you learn your stove. Once you achieve this bubble pattern let cook like this for 6-8 hours. Check occasionally to make sure the heat hasn't increased as the water cooks off. You may need to adjust the temp throughout the cooking.
2. After 6-8 hours remove from heat and immediately strain through a fine mesh strainer. If you would like a sweetened stock, start with ¼ cup sugar/honey/brown sugar/maple syrup (any sweetener of your preference) and stir well to dissolve. Taste and adjust sweetness 1 tbsp at a time until desired sweetness is reached.
3. Bottle. Should be able to store for 6 months in a cool place.
