Great recipe Jo! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Regarding the lemon flesh – you could squeeze the juice out of it and freeze for later use (in dressings, sauces, lemon curd etc). Or throw it into the blender and whizz up and strain. Add sugar and soda water to make a refreshing lemonade. Yum!

Limoncello Gelato – Mix zest of 3 lemons plus thier juice and 190g icing sugar together and leave for 30 mins. Take 6 large lemons, and cut lengthwise, remove flesh being careful not to break the skin and set aside (who can tell me what to do with that??). Whip 550ml double cream with 3 tbs of limoncello liquer and whisk to soft peaks add in lemon mixture, Put cream mixture into lemon halves and freeze for 5-6 hours minimum. Cut into quarters just before serving. Delicious!

Hi Leslie,
Thanks for the link! Love those blossoms.

Hi Lisa,
Mmmm roast chicken, lemon and thyme – Yes! I’m loving getting all these fabulous ideas.

Hi Sophie,
I know you’re a fantastic baker! I’ve got more savoury tips, but would love some sweet ones…

Keep ‘em coming guys – this is great!

Christie,

This is an awesome idea! I’m always needing little tips like these, especially when I have something left over that I just can’t bear to throw away! :)

I also find myself buying lemons often and just using the skins for cakes and baked goods…but now I know what else I can do with ‘em!

Wow, thanks for a great post. I love lemons too. Lemon meringue pie is probably my favourite dessert ever, and I love roast chicken with lemon and thyme.

Hi Grace,
Let me know what you think of lemon on potato salad – my guess is you’ll love it!

Hi Hayley,
Pasta, lemon and peas – what a lovely combo. Thanks for joining in!

Hi Nina,
Absolutely, it adds freshness.

Hi We Are Never Full,
You’re welcome – that lemon water ice of yours is lovely.

Hi Madeline,
Oh lemon tarts – yum! A very good way to use lemons.

Hi Dragon,
Lemon and blueberries? I’m intrigued.
Microwaves – hmmm, I’m not a fan. But if it works for you that’s great!

Another favourite combination for me is lemon and blueberries. :)

One trick I use for getting the most juice out of a lemon is to put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. It really works!

I seldom cook without lemons – it can truly elevate any mediocre dish to something special. Thanks for all the “lemon recipe” links.

Lemon is an absolutely indispensible item in my kitchen. A squeeze of lemon juice is great for flavoring pastas, and I dress so many salads with just olive oil and lemon juice. Of those, I think the lemon best compliments the flavors of a cucumber watercress salad. I also love what it contributes to my Spring Fusilli with Peas – a bright, flavorful, and easy dish. Long live the lemon!

Tonight I prepared soba noodles then tossed them with 3 Tablespoons butter, the juice and zest of one lemon half, a handful of crisp -tender sugar snap peas and a little salt and pepper. It made a nice side dish for grilled salmon.

This sounds like a great series. I look forward to seeing what’s next.
