Lemon Syrup

Is there anything prettier than a bowl of lemons on the counter? Eventually those beauties need to be used, and Lemon Syrup is an easy and tasty way to preserve their special charms.

 

Lemon Syrup

4 cups lemon juice, you will need to juice 15-20 lemons

4 cups water

6 1/2 cups sugar

Zest from 5 lemons

 

Remove the zest from five lemons using a vegetable peeler. To a medium, non-reactive pan add zest, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Then add lemon juice and return too a boil.

Remove from heat and strain mixture through a fine sieve. Pour syrup into jars, leaving 1/2 headspace and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

 

Lemon Syrup can be used to make a fine lemonade, using one part syrup to four parts water. Make a large pitcher or add a splash to a glass of bubble water. Or (I bet you saw this coming), shake up a sweet Lemon Drop cocktail to drink with your next outdoor meal.

 

Lemon Drop Spritzer

 

2 ounces Lemon Syrup

2 ounces vodka

Bubble water

 

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add vodka and lemon syrup. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels nice and cold. Strain liquid into an ice filled old-fashioned glass and top with a splash of bubble water.

This looks yummy and now I'm thinking about lemons!

How is it you always know what I need to make? Was just thinking I needed to learn how to make 'good' lemonade so I can stop buying the expensive bottled stuff.

[Eileen]

Now THIS is a brilliant idea. Perfect for those days when you end up pruning half the branches off the lemon tree. Those are some beautiful jars, too!

I see you used Weck jars. What size and how many did you use? For those interested, the best price I've found was at Crate and Barrel.

[Terri]

Anna, I used the 1/4 liter Weck juice jars, which hold almost 10 ounces. I did not keep a record of the yield, but it think it was 5 jars.

I have always ordered directly from Weck so that I can get the exact jars I need. I love that bith Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma are carrying some of the jars.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can
survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
