Our lemon tree has decided to yield a bumper crop (after bearing no fruit at all for the last 9 months).
Anyone got any ideas as to what I can so with them? Apart from giving them away ![]() I'm going to make lots of lemony desserts over the next few weeks but I'd love other peoples' input. TIA!

Chop up with a bit of ginger & steep for a few min in boiling water. Mmmmmm I'm addicted to lemon & ginger tea at the moment - great for the immune system!
Obsi has a great homemade lemonade recipe.

*sob* seems like it's been decades since my tree gave any lemons.... I swear it's doing it because I was boasting that I was inundated with lemons and my tree was the greatest
![]() Lemonaid.... Just mix 1 cup water with 1/2 to 1cup sugar, and heat that in a saucepan until the sugar melts, then add this to a large jug, add 1 cup lemon juice and 5 cups water. I found these links today - Homemade Citrus Vinegar Cleaner : TipNut.com, Homemade Air Freshener Sprays : TipNut.com I made a lovely topping for cheesecake/cupcakes by mixing some lemon zest with a little coconut, icing sugar and a squeeze of lemon... it makes a sort of crumbly stuff you sprinkle on top. lovely on a plain cheesecake.

There will be plenty of lemon butter being made! And lemon tart.
I'm going to try your lemonade, Obsi. Wems, feel free to come raid the tree- there are about 30 more of the buggers ripening on there! Oooh, and my grapefruit tree has its first fruit- looks like it will be ready for eating in a few weeks. Mmmm, ruby grapefruit ![]() ![]()
