I don’t have any recipes. They all have some sugar.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a big bucket of lemons. They’re so expensive here to buy.
I think they are expensive to buy here but it seems we know the right person for a regular supply.
DeleteAs Angela mentioned, they are getting expensive to buy. So we ‘cultivate’ friendships on the basis of lemon trees in the back garden……they tend to give them away at harvest time😊
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid all my lemon recipes involve sugar in some or other form. Would a drink of hot lemon, honey and whisky count?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
It counts but we are doing cold lager this season. I am freezing juice in plastic egg trays, for adding to water bottles.
DeleteNot a recipe, but Earl Grey with a slice of lemon, or gin and tonic, ditto - both very occasionally.
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing I miss...lemons you can pick when needed...and the municipal tree planting in Paeroa... grapefruit, the fallen ones so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIf we have three or four I slice them then freeze them so we have ready-iced lemon for our G&Ts 😁
ReplyDeleteGood idea but we aren't gin drinkers and I have about 100 lemons (that is a lot of garnished G&T)
DeleteI love lemons and limes with Indian food. Especially starters.
ReplyDeleteJust juicing and putting the freezer ready for the sugar syrup later to make lemonade. Or ice blocks. But how many of those do you want. We are still using lemon ice cubes from 2 years ago. They lose their strength though when frozen for a while

ReplyDeleteSadly, other than lime which turns alkaline in the body rather than acid, I cannot take fresh citrus, particularly lemon. It's okay if made into curd or cooked into something, but that almost always involves sugar. Those pickly jars look very pretty though! YAM xx
I have never eaten pickled lemons, but would drive to try them. I love lemons and slice them and eat them like an orange. my mouth is puckering thinking of how good these would taste. Florida has trees with lemons the size of grapefruit and wow do they taste good. I don't think I have ever eaten anything made with lemons and no sugar unless we count lemon juice squeezed on fish
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making pickled/salted lemons but have often thought about it. Yours look nice :)
ReplyDeleteLemon and pea risotto. Arilx
ReplyDeleteHard to say recipes without sugar but they sure are handy to have over Winter to fix the flu and bugs.
