I have searched the forum but cannot find the lemoncello recipe. I *think* its one of poets. I read about it ages ago and have an abundance of lemons so thought I would give it a go but can't find the recipe.

 

Does anyone have it please?

Would this be the one? http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/513100

 

It's the recipe I used, recommended by Poet, and it is very very scrummy - just make sure you are sitting down when you drink it!

That looks like the very thing Thank you

How silly! Its the first of May today and I am girlishly excited about being able to bottle this up for drinking in the next week

 

Yesterday I made another batch of the Sweet Chilli Jelly and whilst washing the cider vinegar bottle up for re-cycling I realised that its perfect for bottling up the Limoncello So, today, I have to make another batch of the SCJ, to get a second bottle

***This*** was the first Limoncello thread on the forum I think, and has loads of links to different recipes on it. I've never made it since but it was quite nice if I remember

It's strangely strong but nice

It's absolutely marvellous . We've nearly finished the batch I made at Christmas and I've just made 2 more bottles. Really gorgeous stuff! We've been drinking it mixed with some of Lidl's cloudy lemonade which is really sharp and the two lemony flavours are divine together.

I'm not a great one for fizzy drinks but I think Lidl's cloudy lemonade is a winner I bought two bottles last week, only one remains Great taste, no aspartame, and really cheap too

I used really cheap vodka .

 

I used Smirnoff as it was on offer and was cheaper than the stores own brand.

Do you really leave this for a whole month?

 

I guess you would have to leave it for at least a week or two?

 

Come on confess! How long do you actually leave it for?

[Mrs Frugal]

I leave mine for the whole 4 weeks to let the maximum lemony flavour infuse with the vodka. Divine!!

[Ygerna]

I left it for one month, to the day. I've given some to a friend to try and he has declared it delicious.

how do you un-wax waxed lemons

 

I got some lemons from aldi and i assume they are waxed (it doesnt say that they arent)

 

so can I unwax them?

 

I bought them so I could make this

 

or do I need to buy unwaxed ones

 

ho hum

Just scrub them under hot water, Cathy. That should remove the wax OK.

[Couperwife]

ooh, thanks Kate, ill try that

[redhotchick]

Maybe with a dash of washing up liquid too.
