Great idea. And a good use of leftover citrus peels. Does it make the vinegar smell any better?
Yes it smells better for sure. LOL
Hmm, I may try that. I attempted to make orange flavoring out of alcohol and citrus peels and it was a total failure. I don’t know what went wrong...and I always use organic citrus.
I always save orange or more rarely lemon peels; I slice up in strips after cutting off a lot of the white part, dry in cookie sheets or plates next to the wood stove in the winter and on the windowsill when it’s not, and finish off drying in the oven if need be. I store in jars and when baking I grind in the spice grinder and add to cakes and cookies, yum. Or when making preserves or chutneys add to them. More yum.
And when I have just too many to use, I dry in larger pieces (no worrying about cutting white inner part off) and tuck in drawers and closets amongst clothing to keep moths away.
