Limoncello recipe
The recipe we use was out of the "Good Food Magazine" ... quite easy, just
takes a fortnight. 5 unwaxed Lemons 1 litre bottle of cheapest Vodka 750g caster sugar 700ml boiling water. I large glass jar (3 litre) with good sealable lid. (a large kilner jar or similar) 1. Pare the zest from all the lemons, try to not get any of the white pith which will make the final drink bitter. (The tomato peeler from Lakeland works very well!) Put the zest in a jar and pour over all the Vodka, cover with a tight fitting lid and leave for a week, shaking the jar well each day. 2. After a week put the sugar in a heatproof bowl and pour over the boiling water, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the vodka and peel and then return it all to the jar and leave for a further week, shaking it daily at least. 3. Strain into bottles adding a few strips of the lemon zest to each. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Thanks for the recipe. For anyone who's not drunk limoncello, it needs to be taken cold, cold, cold - keep the bottle in the freezer (it'll thicken but not freeze) and pre-chilling your glasses in the freezer before pouring is good too. |

When I get organised I'll try it with the rind from the Citrus medica! There's enough on one of those to make up for 5 ordinary ones! Just make sure you don't get too much of the white pith with the zest. Sacha, I've mailed you direct too. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

If it doesn't show up soon, I'll email you. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
