I have an old lemon tree that keeps on producing like the Energizer
Bunny. It was about the first thing I planted when I bought the house
long ago. Since I put lemon on just about everything, I am saving a
load of $$$ over what lemons cost in the market. I also give away a
lot.

How do you make lemon cordial?
