A lemon tree my dear Watson

The more mature readers will recognise the lyrics of a 60s Peter, Paul and Mary song – 
"Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat".  The one tree in our garden has given us about 14 kilos of fruit.

So what do you do if you can't eat it ? Answer – drink it !! 

 Di knocked up our first batch of Limoncello about a month ago and it's scarily delicious. I've experimented with a white rum variant which I call Rumoncello. It has a bit more of a kick to it but is equally dangerous.

Another use is to freeze the juice into lemon ice-cubes and lob one into a G & T – delicious !
