Definitely seal and cover tightly while steeping or all your alcohol will simply evaporate. Maybe a canning jar.

Dear Hollison, Please read entire recipe and don't laugh! I'm sure you'll all be surprised by the RESULTS! Just happened on this website and noticed your question! Have you had any LUCK?? I happened on a far simpler recipe back in the early 80's and has DEFINITELY been tried and trued. Far less complicated but I'm positive just as fine an end result! Only for one bottle of brandy however and I have never tried to alter IT! Here is MY recipe and instructions.

One gallon size ( pickled egg jar?) Thoroughly cleaned c/w lid
One 26 oz or 750 mil bottle of brandy ( I used a mid priced, not cheap)
One good orange ( small enough to fit into jar AS IS! )
One to 1 1/2 cups of white sugar
A couple of feet of fishing line and some scotch tape

Now the rest is quite simple but EXTREMELY important to follow these instructions. Take your thoroughly cleaned jar and lid and pour in your brandy. Next pour as smooth and slow as possible your sugar into the brandy making sure that your sugar forms a pyramid in the middle of the brandy. DO NOT MIX OR STIR!! Next take your orange and with a large disinfected needle or what have you pass your fishing line through the middle of the orange leaving about the same amount of line out each end of the orange.

Tape one end of this line to the outside of the jar. Lower the CLEANED orange into the jar and position approximately 3/4 inch ABOVE the brandy! DO NOT LOWER THE ORANGE INTO THE MIXTURE! Tape the other end of the line in THIS position. Attach the lid as tight as possible. Take your completed jar, making sure to not SHAKE or MIX solution!! Place your jar in a DARK location, like a closet shelf where it will not be disturbed for Four Weeks. At the end of this time the sugar should have completely dissolved into the brandy and your orange will become discolored. Remove the lid and CAREFULLY remove the orange. Your liquid will remain perfectly clear and at this point just AS desired! The only thing at this point will be the desired sweetness, which you can adjust with a white syrup as described in other recipes but I suggest adjusting this at the beginning as this method alters the end result. At this point all I can say is ENJOY!! Please don't try to eat the orange, pretty GROSS! I hope all you folks find this method as enjoyable as I have over the years! Thanks.

I need information on how to make homemade Grand Marnier. I had one before, using vanilla beans, lemons, oranges, 100 proof vodka and sugar. But I don't remember the amounts. Can you help?
