I make this syrup when lemons are most abundant and freshly picked. The recipe is from a family friend who also supplies me with the lemons.

Ingredients

20-25 minutes
1 quart
  1. Enough lemons to yield 1 quart of juice (I use about 20)
  2. Peel from 10 of those lemons
  3. 4 1/2 cupssugar (about 900 grams)

Cooking Instructions

20-25 minutes
  1. 1

    Wash and dry the lemons. Grate the peel from half of them. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cut the lemons in half and extract the juice using a citrus juicer. Measure out 1 quart.

  3. 3

    Pour the juice and the grated peel you set aside into a large pot.

  4. 4

    Weigh the sugar and add it to the pot. Stir for a few seconds.

  5. 5

    Place the pot over high heat and cook. When the liquid starts to boil, count 15 minutes, then turn off the heat.

  6. 6

    Fill two 1-pint bottles and seal them with their caps. Let them cool in a cool place until summer.

  7. 7

    For a 7-ounce glass, just a finger of syrup is enough. However, it's always a matter of taste.

  8. 8

    If you don't want to waste the lemons with all their peel, use a peeler to remove the peel before juicing and freeze them.
