Orange-Vanilla Liqueur - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large oranges
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange extract
1 pint vodka

Preparation

Pare the peel from each orange in a spiral, producing a 1-inch-wide strip; try to get mostly the orange zest and leave most of the white membrane on the fruit.
Put the peels in a saucepan with the 1 cup water plus the corn syrups and sugar.
Bring to a boil and let boil, stirring constantly, 8-10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the extracts.
Let cool to room temperature and add the vodka.
Pour into a jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid and let stand at least 2 weeks.
