I haven't seen that blog yet but I'll look out for it. Thanks for sharing it.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the fullness of my day: I have no children to care for and I only go out to my volly job two days a week so I have the time to do these things. If the truth be known, there are many times during my day when I can just sit and talk or enjoy the sunshine.

Bake at 180C for 30 mins. Warm the juice of the lemon with an extra 25g sugar. Prick the cake all over and spoon the syrup over the cake. Leave in the tin to cool and cut into squares. (From The Cranks Recipe Book)<BR/><BR/>Lemon Curd<BR/>Lightly whisk 4 eggs in a medium-sized saucepan, then add grated zest and juice of 4 large juicy lemons, 12 oz (350 g) caster sugar<BR/>8 oz (225 g) unsalted butter (at room temperature, cut into small lumps) and 1 level dessertspoon cornflour. Whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens – about 7-8 minutes. Gently simmer for a further minute, continuing to whisk. Remove from heat and store in sterilised jars (about 3 x 350ml).<BR/>(from Delia Smith) Yum on toast.<BR/><BR/>Lemon Squash<BR/>This has a slightly fizzy taste reminiscent of Solo, quite different to lemon cordial. I found the recipe too sweet and will cut back the sugar next time.<BR/>The original recipe is 2lb sugar, 1 oz citric acid crystals, 1 large dessertspoon epsom salts, pour over 1.5 pints boiling water (about 1 litre). When cool add grated rind of 2 lemons and juice of six. Bottle - its supposed to keep "for some time". (from my ancient Green and Gold Cookery Book)<BR/><BR/>Also, have you come across the Chocolate & Zucchini blog? - it has great recipes and commentary on everyday and unusual produce - the author suggests sorbet as another use for lemons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-51594174542011895262007-07-06T10:21:00.000+10:002007-07-06T10:21:00.000+10:00Sorry last anon was from NeishaSorry last anon was from NeishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-4385280841606339672007-07-06T10:20:00.000+10:002007-07-06T10:20:00.000+10:00Those tomatos look so yummy Rhonda, I have 3 self ...Those tomatos look so yummy Rhonda, I have 3 self sown ones up now and they have little toms on them and flowers everywhere I cant wait to eat them.
