352. Lemon Season is Here!
I am in awe seeing the beautiful lemons, grapefruit, limes and oranges hanging from trees everywhere! It is a beautiful sight to see. And all for the picking.
Since moving to California I am excited to learn new regional favorites. On the east coast, oranges would come into season at Christmas and you would pick them up at the grocer or be gifted with a box from a loved one. But in California, December thru March is citrus harvesting season!
My daughter brought a huge basket of oranges, grapefruits, limes and lemons that she picked from a friend's trees.
With so many lemons I had to get to work because you can only use so many lemon slices in your water. So I decided to make Lemon Curd.
The aroma in my kitchen was Amazing!!
The rind on the lemons was soft and not thick and fleshy as I am use to. And the tartness of the lemon juice was so sour I had to add additional sugar. But OHHhh the flavor!
In the saucepan the mixture began to resemble lemon pudding.
And here is a convenient Recipe card for you
