When Life Gives You Lemons.....
 
What in the heck do you do with them? :)

Angie's lemon tree is about ready to drop a bazillion lemons....we still have juice squeezed in freezer bags from the last bunch...used some on some chicken picatta tonight...

HELP!! ;)

when life gives you an excessive amount of lemons....you set up a roadside stand and sell them... make a profit :)

Or you just rub it in the faces of all of us who dont live somewhere warm enough to grow a lemon tree :(

Preserved lemons are easy to make at home for canning, and are a staple in Moroccan cooking. http://www.putsup.com/2009/05/glamor...ed-lemons.html

If you have drinking friends, you could use the zests to make large batches of limoncello...makes a wonderful, low cost Christmas gift! http://patty.vox.com/library/post/ho...ou-lemons.html

Or you could make a unique lemon jam or jelly or marmalade...this one is a honey lemon, and looks phenomenal. http://www.foodinjars.com/2009/04/09...mon-marmalade/

If you're running out of freezer space for the juice, you could always can it. It will keep 18 mo to 2 years without going bad, and won't take up the space in your freezer. http://www.pickyourown.org/lemonjuice.htm

Edit: oops, Mandalinn, missed your reference to limoncello. The food in a jar site looks interesting!

my father made a compressor gun and uses it to launch lemons across the back field.
Or my cousins like to throw them them the fence in our backyard...makes a lovely air freshner.
Otherwise, I got nothing

Wow, I can't imagine having a lemon tree. I think it is cool. I suppose if you have lemons...then lots of other people have lemons...so giving them away probably isn't an option. Kinda like tomatoes here in the summer <smile> Me no nuttin bout lemons...just wanted to chime in...

Good luck! Cathy

We leave buckets at church, marked free, between services...I think people ADD lemons to them!

Oh, I agree...unless the kidnapper wants to drink his brew with you...then it can be a bit "sour"....;)
