How Many Lemon Bars Can You Make?




Lemon Marmalade, Preserved Lemons, Lemonade...


And let's not forget the limes. Most people harvest limes green, but leave them on the tree and they turn yellow and limey-sweet. A lime trees is small, though, at least here at GPWHQ. We'll use up every lime we can get. We've got maybe two dozen of these tasty little puppies in the picture below. Each year the tree gets a little bigger.


Lemons, that's something else again. I will try zesting them and seeing if the zest will dry and keep. I know frozen juice is just about useless, you get no lemon taste, just sourness. But I'm not sure about the zest. Maybe it would freeze?

Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes, Lemon Cake, Lemon Meringue Pie, Sour Cream Lemon Pie...
