My juicer is still down at the other house, we are going down this weekend so I will pick it up then and juice the rest of the lemons here, and freeze the juice in 1 cup portions to use as needed. I am not keen on juicing all of those lemons by hand, so will wait for my juicer! I am also looking at making some preserved lemons and also some lemon cordial, but that will be a project for next week. I picked a large batch of chillies yesterday, they are currently drying in the dehydrator, and then I will store those in an airtight jar as well.
Hi Deb, they do look gorgeous..I have so many lemons at the moment, thinking of ways I can use them...we have a freezer still full with lemon juice we juiced last year... like you in 1 cup lots to use for ginger beer, but as I've been making kombucha I haven't made ginger beer this year..So I'm wondering what do you do with all that dried lemon you have made... ..I made the lemon peel chutney a few years ago Kev said he liked it but I didn't, have you got any other ideas...I will make some lemon cordial that my Jack keeps asking me to make he loves it...Sherrie from Simpleliving :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sherrie,
DeleteI am going to use the dried lemons to flavour iced water and to use in casseroles etc in the slow cooker. I might grind some up in to lemon powder as well, not sure on that one yet. I am also going to make some preserved lemons, lemon loaf, marmalade and things like that with the next batch of fresh ones I have picked. I want to do some dried and preserved ones up as gifts also....still lots of lemons on that tree!! hmmm....
