It has been an amazingly abundant time with lemons! I am totally surprised at how many different dishes I have made, as well as bases and comestibles.
Total tally so far is:
fresh lemon juice, super handy to keep in the fridge
lemon gummies
lemon honey
lemon, honey, ginger cordial
lemon, honey and sage throat wash / tonic for sore throats
lemon pepper mayonnaise
lemon salsa verde
upside down lemon cake
lemon juice ice blocks
That is quite a collection, and it is a good list of so many things that I don’t have to buy from the supermarket.
I decided to preserve the remains of the lemons, using a recipe from Bounty, by Catherine Bell. I adapted the recipe to include my own choice of healing spices, such as cardamom and cinnamon. I am looking forward to trying out the preserved lemons! They will also make fantastic, unique and personal Christmas gifts.
