2857.0. "LEMON Surplus.. Need recipes!" by KYOA::SHAIN (Jennifer Shain) Wed Jan 16 1991 15:53

    My sister-in-law just sent a box of Arizona citrus (grapefruit,
    oranges, tangerines and lemons)!!!! Since it is just me and my husband,
    I am afraid that we may not get through the whole bunch, especially the
    lemons.  Does anyone have any recipes? I was thinking about lemon
    squares or a citrus sorbet, or ???
    
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You could make lemon (or any other kind) marmalade.  It keeps very
    well.  Or salt pickled lemons which I think are morroccan.  I'll try
    to remember to bring in the recipes tommorrow.

if you need to save some:

juice as many lemons as you have left over (when they are real nice and ripe
is best) and pour the undiluted juice into an ice cube tray.  Freeze.  take
the cubes out of the tray and seal in a re-sealable freezer bag.  Use to
flavor soups, desserts, etc. for months in the future.  

You can also make grapfruit cubes....I like these added to fresh brewed
iced tea to add a little tang.  They also can be used to make sorbet and
I add fresh grapfruit juice to fruit salad dressings.

    It's kinda rich but lemon meringue pie made with fresh lemons would
    be a great way to "dispose" of some of those pesky unwanted lemons.
    Fresh lemonade is great too, especially when the lemons are cheap/free.
    My neighbors have trees which hang over into my yard which are a good
    source of lemons for me. Now if limes would grow well out here I'd be
    all set for those gin and tonics when the weather here warms up.

    Thanks for the great ideas, I would be interested in the marmalade
    recipe, would you please post?  I will probably use the ice cube tray
    trick. Lemon merinage pie, hmm, wouldn't be a bad idea, might even be
    worth breaking the diet for ;^)
    
    Thanks again.
