ORANGE WINE
Vin d’Orange
This wine is so simple to make, and to enjoy! Be sure to use organic oranges, and make this in the winter when the fruit is at its best. Though this wine is very drinkable after four weeks in the bottle, it mellows with age. I make it one year to serve the next, and suggest you do the same.
10 good-size oranges, preferably organic and well scrubbed
8 cups (2 1) dry white wine, such as Sancerre
2 cups (500 ml) pure fruit alcohol, or vodka
1 vanilla bean
1 tbs arabica coffee beans
2 cups minus 2 tbs (375 g) sugar
1. Peel the oranges right down to the fruit, including the pith. Put the fruit aside for another use.
2. Place the skins with the pith in a large nonreactive pot or bowl. Add the wine, vodka, vanilla bean, coffee beans, and half the sugar. Stir.
3. Caramelize the remaining sugar: place the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. The sugar will melt and begin to bubble, then gradually liquefy, turning a golden colour. This will take about 7 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally if it colours unevenly, until the sugar is a deep golden colour, like light molasses, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the caramelized sugar into the orange mixture, scraping as much of the sugar as possible from the pan with a wooden spoon. The caramel will sizzle and send up steam, and it will instantly harden. Don’t be concerned – it will gradually dissolve. Loosely cover the bowl and let the mixture ripen in the bowl for two weeks, stirring it occasionally.
5. Strain the orange mixture through a sieve lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth or a dampened cotton tea towel. Discard the orange skins, the vanilla bean and the coffee beans and decant the liquid into sterilized bottles. Seal with corks. Let sit for at least 1 month before drinking.
