Back in July I wrote a post about the fruit trees in our backyard. In it, I expressed my profound gratitude for their very existence. I love being able to pluck a lemon off the tree any time I need some lemon juice or zest.
But sometimes life gives you too many lemons--way more than any recipe could possibly require.
And that's when it's time to get a little creative. You might remember my penchant for filling ice cube trays with fruit. Well, I've done it again, but this time with lemon juice and now I have two full trays. That's 28 (2 Tbsp) cubes just waiting to be popped out and put in a recipe or beverage.
I guess maybe there's no such thing as "too many" lemons after all...
Ooooh this is super similar to a blog post I was working on this weekend! You'll have to keep an eye out for that one too because it's got a slightly different take on the ice cubes!

WOW. First, the pictures are beautiful. The lemons are gorgeous. Second, this is a brilliant idea and use of your lemons. I am totally jealous. Send me some :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'll have to remember this when they are on sale, sometimes the price is crazy up here. Thanks for the tip! (Love your lemon tree!)

I wish we were able to grow lemon trees. It gets to hot in the summer & too cold in the winter. Now following you! Love the twine diy too!
