These sweet things like lemons
Hot Cross Buns laced with lemon peel. What would Jesus say?
I feel they are the most misunderstood of all citrus fruits, oranges on the other hand, are loved by all. Even grapefruits have their followers, me being one, but the poor poor lemon is often just sliced by an unkempt barman for an icy g & t:( Probably for an old dear.
Things I do with lemons:
Pies. Meringues mostly. Current one is looking fabulous, a thick mouse like lemon filling laying on a crisp buttery pastry base and topped with marshmallowy meringue. Good either warm or cold. Served either with a pastry fork or with a spoon to scoop up the cream...
Cakes. Drizzle, fruit cakes, fairies, Victoria sponges, biscuits (lemon thins being a favourite) and exotica of all kinds.
Puddings. Juice flavours a simple pud, rind added too, and a steamed pudding with lemon curd on the bottom makes angels lose the plot.
Tea. Hot with juice of half a lemon. Result? A feeling of purity and upbeatness unlike tea with milk and sugar which imparts feelings of comfy sluggishness. And Noel Coward. And Mrs Mopp. And me!
Elbows. Two halves stabbed onto two elbows brings about a cool whiteness and questions about personal hygiene.
Yes I love lemons BUT........................................................................
Do not like Sherbert Lemons. Grrrr.
This boiled sweet of hell once had me choking in a post office queue on account of one of the blighters falling involuntarily down my throat tube. Since then I will not have them in the house. While I'm on the subject of killer sweets I robustly condemn seaside rock, cough candy and Everton mints. These sweets have no place in my pocket.
But there is one hard sweet thing I like...and that is................. the Sugared Almond. I'd do almost anything for a paper bagful:)
Now I must check the lemon pie and marinate two chicken legs in....soy, sugar, pepper, oil and Lemon juice.
Now I must fly>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
