Having the man flu today I stayed inside and peeled the rind off 2 kgms of Mandarins today and soaked the rind in 1 litre 45% abv neutral spirit. See picture below. Ideally I should have used .. say 92% abv... though you use what you have available.
Now what to do with the left over fruit? After looking around the forum I have decided to do a Mandarin Rumtopf.
A little unusual though I have heaps of Rum..
