Inspiration from Juliana Ding & her friend Sr W

1 large orange (7oz)
1.5 lemon (3.5oz)
3.5oz young ginger, shredded
1 Tsp lemon juice
2.5 cup water

2. slice fruits perpendicularly
3. place fruits & shredded ginger in a deep pot, add lemon juice & water
4. bring it to boil, then simmer until fruits is soft, 40-50min
5. add water if necessary, to bring back water to original level
6. add sugar & boil rapidly to 103'C, continue cooking
7. do sheet test. If syrup pass sheet test, remove from heat to cool

Sheet Test
Put a cold metal spoon into the boiling syrup, raise the spoon 1 foot above the pot.
Run mixture in the spoon from side to side to cool. If the syrup falls off the spoon 
in one sheet instead of a drop, it is ready.

Preparation of bottles
Place clean bottles in a pot. Fill the pot with water to submerge all the bottles.
Boil for 20min. Remove bottles to dry upside down on a dish cloth.

Note:
Sugar must only be added when the fruits are soft! Avoid hardening of lemon rind

the slight after taste of bitterness in the mixture of sour and sweet flavour is really good

Katie Foong: Yes, the bitterness comes from the lemon rind. The ginger taste will enhance its flavour too.

This would be so good on a slice of sourdough bread spread with salted golden churn butter or crackers. My late father in law would enjoy this.

Katie Foong: Yes, yes
