My wife just got done squeezing the last of over 70+ lemons we got from my buddy down in Victoria Texas. His lemon tree has probably 20 times more fruit on it than we picked. We hardly put a dent in it. The tree was planted as a small tree 15 years ago and now is about 15 feet in diameter and about 12' tall. I would bet that all the fruit was loaded in a half ton truck, it would make it ride on the frame...
My buddy's aunt told her how to put the lemon juice in ice cube trays, freeze and add 1 cube to a tall glass with some water to make individual glasses of lemonade. I just opened up the American Cookbook and there are over 5 pages of lemon recipes. Yumm Yumm. We have so far, 2 large ziplocks full of lemon cubes and 3 quarts of lemon juice in mason jars. I guess we don't have to worry about scurvy this winter if properly planned for....
When life (or a buddy) gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or lemon tarts, or lemon meringue pie, or lemon ladyfingers....
All that squeezing pumped up my wifey's guns..I mean arms. I told her I'll be sayin' yes mam to her for another while.
