kitpath@earthlink.net 1999-Jan NOTES : There are three kinds of
oranges: the eating orange, juice orange and bitter orange used for
cooking. Orange bitters are made from the peel of the "bitter orange,"
a variety grown mostly in Seville and Sicily. Orange bitters is hard
to find outside of New York. You could substitute Angostura bitters or
omit this ingredient from the recipe. You could also improvise by
mixing orange liqueur with the basic spices: cardamom, caraway and
coriander seed. Bitters are colored with burnt sugar (caramel).
Another alternative is to use the juice and zest of the Naranja Agria,
or sour orange, available in hispanic markets in the Americas. Recipe
