Frugality

So, Having cooked my delicious Pomerantzen (which are drying, dusted with sugar, at the moment), I was left with a citrus-infused sugar syrup (orange and lemon {non-plural chosen to avoid bringing that creepy nursery rhyme to mind.}). And I remembered that DBF and I were talking about how expensive maple syrup is, and Mapleine has proved hard to find here, to make my own. So I stirred in some more sugar, the juice of both lemons, and a splash of orange juice, along with a little bit of real vanilla extract, and cooked it a while longer. Then voilà, pour into an empty glass bottle. Citrus-vanilla syrup. I tested it on a sliced peach, and it was wonderful. Of course, the peach was also wonderful, but I could detect the delicate syrup flavor as well. Success!
