Orange marmalade

 

Ginger beer

  • 1 KG ORANGES
  • 1 KG SUGAR
  • 1/2 LITER ORANGE JUICE
 
  • 400 GRAM SUGAR
  • 2 ROOTS OF GINGER
  • 2 LEMONS
  • 25 GRAM YEAST

Clean the oranges with hot water. Peel them thick, so the white comes off as well. Cut the orange in pieces. Cut half of the peel in thin strips. Put the oranges and peels in a pan, together with the sugar and orange juice and so much water, that all oranges are covered. Cook for at least two hours on a soft fire, until all peels are soft. Add some water if necessary. You can test the thickness by putting a drop of marmalade on a plate. After two minutes in the fridge you can see what the marmalade will look like.

Grate the ginger and the peel of the lemon. Press the juice out of the lemon. Heat 5 liters of water with the sugar, ginger, lemon peel and juice until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the fluid to cool until 40 degrees before dissolving the yeast. Sieve the fluid and put in bottles. Leave them for 1 day at room temperature, then store in the fridge. After 2 days they are ready to drink. Don't forget to open the bottles, a few times a day, the first days after you made the beer, because carbon dioxide develops and the pressure can get quite high. If you forget, the bottle might explode!
