have you ever made citrus wine is it worth the time I have tons of oranges and grape fruit?

I drank a commercial orange wine in LA once. Never again.

Better to make an orange or grapefruit liqueur

Ingredients

10 oranges or 6 grapefruit

2 bottles (750 ml) 100-proof vodka

4 cups sugar

5 cups water

Method

Wash the citrus with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any reside of pesticides or wax; pat the fruit dry.

Carefully zest the fruit with a zester or vegetable peeler so there is no white pith on the peel. NOTE: Use only the outer part of the rind. The pith, the white part underneath the rind, is too bitter and would spoil your liqueur

In a large glass jar (1-gallon jar), add one bottle of vodka; add the zest as it is zested. Cover the jar and let sit at room temperature for at least (10) ten days and up to (40) days in a cool dark place. The longer it rests, the better the taste will be. (There is no need to stir - all you have to do is wait.) As the liqueur sits, the vodka slowly take on the flavor and rich color of the zest.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water; cook until thickened, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Let the syrup cool before adding it to the mixture. Add to the liqueur mixture. Add the additional bottle of vodka. Allow to rest for another 10 to 40 days.

After the rest period, strain and bottle: discarding the zest. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
