I made lemon bars, lemon tarts, lemonade, lemon curd, lemon cookies, lemon poppyseed cake, lemon rolls, lemon parmesan fish and that's just the start!
We picked 400 lemons off of our tree and I've managed to give 150 away. This picture is how many we have left on the tree. I've gone from choosing recipes that look yummy to trying to find recipes that use up the most lemons (I'm sorry but 1 T. lemon juice only uses one lemon!) The other problem is that most lemon things are desserts. I tell you this is not a good situation for somebody trying NOT to gain 70 pounds.
I did discover that it is possible to can lemon curd so as soon as I borrow a canner (thanks for living so far away Amy!) I can really make a dent in my lemon supply. Now I only have one more problem...
What can I do with 400 oranges???

This makes me miss our lemon trees in CA--Happy lemoning!
I am so jealous. I love lemons. I made a Shaker Lemon Pie one time that used whole lemons sliced paper thin. I just looked it up and it uses just two lemons. You should try it.
I'm speechless! Holy cow! I'm so jealous! I've got a canner too--darn it, I live farther away!
The pasta with lemon cream sauce uses 3 T. lemon juice. Does that help?
I love this post!!!
Oh, to have your problem. . . You have a beautiful family, Johanna. Congratulations on #5. I'm loving that number so far. Hope all goes well.
I always love your posts! Try [URL=http://bellybelly.com.au/forums/recipes-cooking-food/75079-recipes-use-lots-lemons-2.html]this [/URL] It has some good lemon chicken and a pasta dish. It also had an idea to make a dried seasoning for meat.
LEMONS! I actually have an excellent recipe for a lemon cake, which is actually healthy and delicious! plus you need about 6 lemons and their rinds!
The lemon biscuits were delicious. 4 stars for creativity and flavor! Orange chicken anyone?
