I realised this afternoon I had a backlog of lemons piling up in my fruit bowl (including a few wrinkly looking ones) so decided to step up the domestic duties - a few more *firsts* with these ones.
First up I made some yummy Lemon Honey (aka lemon butter). Came out just like I remember it - usually bought at church or school fairs. Shame I'm no longer able to serve it on white wheatflour toast with melted butter and then the lemon honey. *sigh*. That recipe made one jar and only used 2 lemons.
Then, to use up another 6 lemons I made a lemon cordial concentrate - that one is still sitting on the bench for 24hrs before I strain it and bottle it.
Nathan thought the lemon honey was too sour - such a shame...imagine a food all to myself in this house!

Are we on a similar journey or what Nikki?! I've been planning to make preserved lemons cos you *really* can't buy them here in small town land and I often crave a little exotica on the food front.
We're all about the lemons here too! Lemon honey, oh yeah. The girls made lemonade yesterday too.
yummmmmmmmmmm
