The photos didn’t post in the OP so here they are here

LOL! That's brilliant!

Hey, he had fun and the ”marmalade” probably won’t kill you . . . if you don’t eat it.

Who doesn't love a kitchen experiment? LOL

Sounds good to me!

Love it! I think you should get him a T-shirt emblazoned with "Mad Genius in the Kitchen At Work!"

Mm - I love orange marmalade!

Unexpectedly positive outcome? Lucky you - and looks like quite a lot too 😃

Wondering how much of a mess he made 😄

Loved all the responses.

Well carolb he did make quite a lot of mess but cleaned up most of it. He washed up everything but left it draining on the sink which I was later happy to dry and put away. I had previously helped him by washing and pouring boiling water over the jars and containers.

Except for one large jar of syrupy ‘marmalade’ all the rest of the syrup and other containers of whizzed pulp he put in the freezer.

I am currently googling recipes to find out what I can do with the syrup. I thought of making a sort of citrus tart, like a lemon tart but the syrup really is quite bitter. I thought of adding some sort of alcohol but we don’t have much in the house. There’s some brandy and some sort of herby German liquor. I haven’t decided what to do yet and I am quite busy today. There is no rush as it will keep for at least a month in the fridge.

I agree plllog. Also I thought an Asian pork marinade with soy sauce.

LOL, that sounds like some of my kitchen experiments, but with a happy ending! I do like the thought of the marinade...

Is the ”herby German liqour” Goldwasser by any chance?

Hi Colleenoz... the liquor is

There was a time when Jaegerbombs were all the rage…

Jägermeister is a very strong-tasting digestif. It tastes very medicinal and I really wouldn't use it in cooking at all. Unless, perhaps, I was making a cocktail. It would be disgusting in an orange sauce. Now brandy and orange ..... that's a different matter.

I agree with Floral.

i love experiments… some are more successfufl than others. I think I’d use one jar/bottle at a time and adjust the flavor as needed. Sugar in some would probably help to pull flavors.

Wow! Boggled that Jaegerbombs made it to the other side of the world, but I guess the weirder things travel fast on the wings of youth's whispers, Or shouts...

I, however, don’t have a clue what a Jaegerbomb is.!!!

Can someone let me know the mix?

Take it out and make jelly?

Neely, the Jaegerbomb, to the best of my knowledge, was invented by ”dudes” in California when Red Bull was first sold here. Bomb drinks, AFIK, are where a shot is dropped, glass and all, into a larger drink, like the classic shot of whiskey into a tankard of beer. As a female of sense, my only idea of why this would be a good thing is if in middling drunkenness, while trying to achieve greater drunkenness, one worried about missing one's mouth with the precious all the sooner drunker of the shot. So, I think people have been using Jaeger in the same way in beer, but the iconic Jaegerbomb is a shot of Jaeger in an original flavor Red Bull with a splash of cranberry. It's supposed to be sweet and tasty (lots of sugar there), but it seems like cough syrup to me (I don't do caffeine, so haven't tried it (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)). The interplay of the alcohol and caffeine is supposed to be an interesting kind of jolt as well. Dudes chase waves and hills, so it's really not all that surprising it got to Australia. It's only my lack of exposure that made me think it was a local fad.

Thanks plllog, great explanation, funny too. I was thinking I hadn’t heard of it due to living in Europe most of the 70’s and 80’s but no Red Bull came out in the 90’s so I must have been too busy drinking wine...never a cocktail drinker or shots. No I lie... I did have a flirtation with tequila shots early 2000’s.

Well, there you go, Neely. Take that not-marmalade, add vodka or other booze and make a not-limoncello!

Hah Annie ... perfect. An orangemarcello perhaps.

Jaegerbombs have been around over here for a good twenty years. But I don't think cranberry features here. Just the JM and and an energy drink.

I don’t know how old Jaggerbombs are suppose to be here in CA, but some people at a company event decide to do this many years ago. As I recall, DH suggested we depart that event since it would quickly become a drunken mess… it did, and we were well gone. I could well believe the 20 years suggested by Floraluk2.

I might like to taste orangemarcello. 😄

The accepted date for the invention of the Jaegerbomb is 1997, the year Red Bull was introduced to the USA. In much of Europe, Red Bull was out a few years prior but the combo with Jaegermeister came from California soon after the first Red Bulls appeared.

I think the marinade sounds awesome! Not sure about the liqueur...
