Real bummed to hear that :-( I hope the lemon was ok at least.

I like to make a quarante-quatre over Lent (I've convinced myself that the 44 days from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday, plus Lent starting in the neighborhood of orange season, is the reason for the numerology. This may just be fancy, but now it's tradition), which uses a whole orange and is pretty nice.

My recipe is: 1 orange, 44 cloves, 44 teaspoons of sugar (a little over 3/4 c if you don't feel like counting that out), a liter of your favorite rum (I like to use the Cruzan white rum because it's way cheaper than it tastes and because USA and unincorporated territories #1), a jar with a mouth wide enough to accommodate an orange with a bunch of cloves sticking out of it (this is important)

Stick cloves into orange. Place ingredients in jar. Every day or so tilt the jar around so the sugar mixes up a bit. Repeat until day 44. Enjoy :D
