Default Meyer's lemon recipe


"Sacha" wrote ((snip))
Now, Bob, here's a challenge - what will you make from the
fruit of our Citrus medica - they are *enormous*!


Has the rind got a nice strong pleasant citrus scent?
If so the same recipe would work.
Or you can candy it.


Someone on uk.food+drink.misc has told me about candying it (sigh..)
I'll
go and sniff it tomorrow for the Limoncello idea which sounds *much* more
attractive!


Stick your nail into the rind and see what it smells like.
You do have to guard against getting the white pith (bitter) in the bottle
so need to pare off the yellow rind carefully, thinly.
Candying it would work fine but how much does one want, even with a Tea Shop
there are only so many cakes it can be used in/on. Hot Cross Buns spring to
mind. :-)

If you look at http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/citron.html
it tells you about uses near the bottom, candying is about it.
