When Life Gives You Lemons . . .

It's citrus season at the ranch.  There is something so hopeful about bright, cheery fruit that becomes ripe during the darkest part of the year.  One of the orange trees was picked in December.  Every single piece was truly enjoyed -- by New Year's.

So now we turn our attention to the lemons -- so many lemons.  What can one do with lemons?  To start, we'll whip up a batch of limoncello -- but the bulk of the lemon is left over.  What then?  We'll juice what remains and put it in ice cube trays, freeze it, and use it for homemade lemonade during the summer or defrost several of the ice cubes to use for lemon juice when cooking.

What can one do with limoncello, though?  How much can one possibly drink?  There is so much more to do with limoncello than mere drinking -- "mere" drinking?  Sorry, I didn't mean that.

Anyway, our Pinterest/Recipe page is chock full of amazing recipes, so click away and go create something incredible.  What's the link, you ask?  Rancho Azul y Oro's Pinterest Recipe Page .  You're welcome!

This page is chock full of recipes featuring the lemon, everything from homemade mayonnaise to lemon meringue martinis to limoncello to lemon olive oil cake to lemon garlic dressing.  If you can think of it, it is there and your faithful reporter of all things lemon will be on this topic as long as lemons hang on the tree.

Then we will change our focus -- to grapefruit.

Cheers!
