It's WAY better than the stuff at the store. It's very good on crepes with a little bit of sugar :)<br /><br />And lemon curd is DIVINE on toast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-53645198144809935752011-04-13T22:01:49.968-07:002011-04-13T22:01:49.968-07:00Kathleen, lemon syrup sounds dreamy!

We don't get maple trees around here, so lemon syrup would be such a wonderful staple to have on hand.<br /><br /><b>Kandi</b>, I have the boy slicing lemons right now to stick in the dehydrator. That's such a great idea. My dehydrator needed to come out of retirement. Your warming lemon drink sounds fantastic.<br /><br />Thank you all so much for these great ideas! Keep 'em coming!wildtomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600756783674176552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-21980644374259302952011-04-13T13:59:52.433-07:002011-04-13T13:59:52.433-07:00I dehydrate them and put them in glass.

I normally use either honey or agave. It really warms you when you have a cold, or its really cold outside. But once you dehydrate them, they store a bit better. <br /><br />The other thing I do when I have a ton of lemeons is I juice it and freeze it. Either in a container or in ice cube trays. Then when I have ice tea, I just throw in a lemon ice cube and away I go. :)Kandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587243589167117498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-36794691386010620452011-04-12T21:09:56.423-07:002011-04-12T21:09:56.423-07:00OOooo!

The sorbet sounds wonderful, too. Make a hair rinse for all your blond friends. Lemon and olive oil salad dressing all bottles up and in storage for the year??? Lemon syrup for waffles maybe? Lemon juice takes the smell off your hands after you filet a fish or dump the juice out of a can of tuna, so keep a little around to clean up with.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301635466561126804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-82440547566377913982011-04-12T11:37:46.797-07:002011-04-12T11:37:46.797-07:00Megan, thank you!

Thanks for the idea! The no oil version is made similar to kimchi, but without all the sun time. I wonder how it would turn if I didn't expose the jar to sun? And the oil version is interesting, too. I have enough lemons to try both version.wildtomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600756783674176552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-30957171035861043572011-04-12T07:20:47.609-07:002011-04-12T07:20:47.609-07:00Indian lemon pickle.
