This tree is amazing, cranking out fruit pretty much year round, and lots of it.
On the other hand, the lemon tree across the road produces picture-perfect, very large lemons - with thick skins and less juice than mine. And, not anywhere near the quantity either.
Something to do with all those nice lemons - salt them.
This is a nice condiment with curries, roasts, duck, etc. etc. and keeps indefinitely.Salted Lemons
- Slice your lemons almost to the stem end in quarters.
- Stuff each with about 1 tablespoon of rock salt and put in jar(s). Add enough salt to surround the lemons.
- Minced chili peppers may be tossed in, perhaps some raw, sliced ginger.
- 4 lemons, juiced & the juice poured over all
- Then put your jar in a sunny place for 3-4 weeks. (After a few days the level will come down and you may add a few more lemons.)
- Let age for 6 months.
And, the parable is - of course - we shouldn't judge by the outward appearance alone, as many did in our recent election. Often the "news" isn't all that objective or fair either. In fact, I would say, most of the time; since "they" have their own agendas.
Hey, my lemons have lots of juice too!
ReplyDeleteAnd, they look so much nicer too.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could grow them here. I didn't know they fruited almost year round.
ReplyDeleteI want one more now..

Mine is plugged into our grey water outflow. Maybe it likes the dishwater? I don't think its fruiting style is typical.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures on your site.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall if you were the one I was talking to about knitting left handed or not but if so I have a link for you (if not forgive me.)
Here is the link

Thanks Dora. I'm not left-handed, but can use all the help I can get re-learning how to knit. I'll try that site.
ReplyDeleteClaudia,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry. I figured out who it was that I was talking to about that (left hand knitting.)
I have days where I can do just about anything (so I think) and then there are days that I swear I become part Dingbat.

How wonderful to make preserved lemons from your own garden tree. I'm envious.
