KIRSTY'S SMOKED BLOOD ORANGE SYRUP

INGREDIENTS
- 6 blood oranges
- Caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp citric acid or salt
- Spices for smoking – juniper, star anise, coriander, cardamom
METHOD
- Peel the oranges, juice them, and then combine all juice (with pulp) and peel
- Mix equal amounts of caster sugar with the juice-peel mix and the citric acid or salt in a pot
- Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes, and then allow to cool before straining into a container that has a lid that seals properly
- Smoke the syrup with the spices using a smoke gun and leave covered until the smoke has imparted
This recipe makes about 1 litre of syrup, which should keep happily in the fridge for about a month, and longer if frozen.
