so many lemons....

Hi jamesgrub, I had a lemon tree before. It was planted beside the gate. We had got the first harvest after a few years since it was planted there. The lemons harvested were in elongated oval shape. The average size of the lemon was 10 cm or 8 inches averagely. It was green in color and would turn into yellowish when it was ripe. Yeah, it would bear a lot of fruits after seeing the lovely white blooming flowers. We used the juice squash to season our homemade veggies pickles. My kids loved pickles prepared from slices of cucumber, pineapple, big onion and red pepper, and of course suitable amount of lemon juice and some brown sugar added to them. Our fruits salad would taste more delicious if lemon juice and olive oil is added to it before served. Very often we would brew hot or cold black tea with lemon juice added to it. One or two small thin lemon slices floating on the top of the drink would make it look more attractive. Sometimes we gave some to our neighbors, relatives and friends. We cut down the lemon tree two years back for my hands were easily hurt by the large numbers of thorns growing on the stems and branches of the tree. So nowadays we can get lemon from the market whenever we need only. Happy posting and good luck.

Pass some of those lemons over here. I'll take them. You could make some lemon curd, lemon pudding, lemon custard pie, lemonade, chicken piccata, lemon bars. How about making some lemon marmalade? It is pretty much like orange marmalade, but with a different citrus fruit. Here are a lot of good ideas to use up some of those lemons. http://www.joyofbaking.com/LemonArticle.html

You can candy it if you want. Sugar will do the trick for that and after all you can have a home made lemon spread!
