Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the lemon peel carefully so you don't take any white pith off with it. I use a vegetable peeler for this
- 2
Roll the lemons on your work surface so you get the optimum amount of juice when you squeeze them. Do that now and set the juice aside
- 3
Heat the sugar in a pan with the water over a low heat and stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon peel to the pan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes
- 4
Add the lemon juice to the pan, bring back to the boil then simmer a further 5 minutes. Take off the heat and cool in pan for 15 minutes
- 5
Put the juice mix in a jar with a clip top or screw top lid. Add the vodka and seal
- 6
Shake the jar every 2 days for 2 weeks. Strain the mixture and decant into bottles adding a strip of lemon peel from the strainer to each bottle
- 7
Serve chilled for an after dinner treat
- 8
If making for Christmas as a gift for family & friends, start the process around the 8th of December so you have enough time for it to flavour and attach pretty gift tags to the bottles

California Farm Limoncello Liqueur California Farm Limoncello Liqueur
Such a pleasure, our Meyer Improved Lemon tree! We use the zest of twenty of the largest ripest fresh lemons to make this Limoncello liqueur starting in February. After pressing the juice out, the lemonpeels are scraped and immersed in vodka for a few months. The lemon juice is poured in quart mason jars or plastic bottles and frozen. By July, the lemon peel extract is ready, we make limoncello as dessert for hot summer evenings.

I don't drink alcohol, but when I found a Limoncello Cake at a restaurant that was both beautiful and delicious, I resolved to duplicate the recipe, but exclude the Limoncello. This recipe works for me---beautiful, delicious, easy-to-make, and alcohol-free. My guests rave over it!

Feast of Seven Fishes VI - Limoncello Tiramisu Feast of Seven Fishes VI - Limoncello Tiramisu
This is a burst of citrusy lemony palate cleanser without all the soggy ladyfingers nor creamy fillings. I am not blowing my horn tho. But, don't you hate it when your favorite dessert is sugary sweet with soggy and creamy texture?I dislike using the packaged ladyfingers as I find them too sweet. I decided to make my own instead. It is a very simple sponge cake without any extravaganza. I must also admit that I need to practice slicing a cake into 3s more. You will find out when you watch the IGTV. To add more flavors, I added poached lemons into my limoncello tiramisu. It not only adds a bit of texture but also some flavor profiles as well.As for the mascarpone fillings, I cannot get around my head eating raw eggs, so I pasteurized my eggs over a double boiler. After which, it is just 2 more ingredients: demerara sugar and mascarpone. Not too much sugar and no cream at all. You have to give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Is it better with whipped cream or without?
