]]> Okay, so I’ve been obsessing over limoncello all day long.  After finishing my grocery list for the week, I decided to add lemons and vodka to the list.  So, I drove over to the Grafton Pick ‘n Save (a store that I’m quite proud of…and, in the spirit of full disclosure, a store owned by my employer Roundy’s).

A few hours later, there’s a container with the contents of a 1.75 of vodka and the rinds of 8 lemons steeping away.  8 bare lemons and what to do???  I haven’t made anything sweet in a while.  I think that I’m going to make homemade lemon curd.  The rest of the lemon juice is now in the freezer for future use.

More lemon curd and limoncello discussions to follow. ..

]]> At home this morning, I watched an episode of 30 Minute Meals on Food Network.  Her episode included a great dessert that included Limoncello, this sweet, lemony liqueur.  It reminded me that I had made Limoncello at home and really enjoyed it.  In fact, it disappeared so fast, I didn’t have time to share with friends!!!  I’ve decided to look at making another batch (and saving some for friends).  I found a nice recipe online at the epicurious.com web site.  This is a reader’s recipe, but fits the bill.

Try this recipe and store the outcome in your freezer.  This makes for a great after dinner drink and is great for use in recipes too.  I’ve included a link to Rachel Ray’s dessert recipe that aired today on Food Network.

This recipe is found on the Food Network web site, www.foodnetwork.com and was featured in the Stirring the Pot episode of 30 Minute Meals.
