I was reminded by a fellow blogger
That I wanted to try and make some lemoncello
I was going to go and buy some vodka but remembered I had a bottle of grappa someone
Had given me ages ago
So I have used that to soak the lemon rinds in it’s supposed to sit for three weeks
So it’s been put away to do its thing and hopefully
I’ll be able to make some lovely liquor to enjoy.
I’ll let you know in another post if that works
A swim friend suggested I make some lemon butter/ Curd
So some of the skinned lemons were used to make this.
It’s only three little jars but hubby had a taste test and said it was realllllly good
I think I’ll get me a few more jars and make a second batch
The a
Hardest part of making this is stirring for over ten minutes waiting for the mixture to cook and thicken
I still had more lemons that I had skinned and more of the blood oranges
So I made a big batch of orange/lemon cordial
These are passata bottles that I had washed and kept
So two full bottles were made. They are in the drinks fridge
To have once the weather warms up a tad
So more of the produce has been used there is still a little left but honestly
The amount now is negligible
I’ll be able to use it in general cooking
I do love abundance but seriously that was just way too much work
I’m pooped!
It’s cold again today
The fog is thick
So I think I’ll spend the day inside crocheting and bing watching something on the telly
Have a great day
Stay safe
See ya
It all looks divine. The colour of that cordial is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe oranges were blood oranges. It gave it a lovely colour
DeleteYour grappa I think would be the equivalent of our raki. I must do a taste test.
ReplyDeleteLove, love lemon curd. So do the rest of the family so fortunately I can give it away and don't have to eat it all by myself 😉
My daughter made a fantastic tourta/pie/ birthday cake with lemon curd. It was the very best!
Ohhhh I’d love the recipe please. It will give me the excuse to make even more lol
DeleteNever had lemon curd. It super hot here now. I only wish the weather wasn't so extreme.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
