I had a half box of oranges my wife and daughter were eating but didn't really like because they were to tart. I was afraid they were going to go bad before they got eaten (starting to get soft) so I cut them in half and hand squeezed out 1 quart of juice. I then dissolved 1 cup of sugar to 1 quart of water, and pored the juice in to the hot water. From there it went to a 1/2 gallon jug where I added some pectic enzyme. At the last minute I decided, that since half of my batch was sugar water I should add about 1/4 cup of real lemon and go for an OJ/skeeter pee hybrid. Pitched the starter late last night ("domesticated" wild apple cider yeast) and its a bubbling away now. If I can figure out a way to filter the pulp out of OJ concentrate I will back sweeten with that, bottle carbonate and then pasteurize. can't weight so see how it comes out.
