Soups, stews, meatloaf.<br /><br />One fun one is "Lemonade Sirup"<br />boil for 5 minutes:<br /> 2 cups sugar<br /> 1 cup water<br /> rind of 2 lemons cut into thin strips<br /> 1/8th teaspoon salt<br />cool and add: <br /> juice of 6 lemons<br />(strain the syrup for stray seeds and etc)<br /><br />add 2 tbsp sirup <br />to 1 glass ice water or charged water (carbonated)<br /><br />or add 1 tbsp sirup, 2 tbsp orange, apricot, or pineapple juice <br />to 1 glass ice water or charged water<br /><br />My boyfriend and I insist on mispronouncing it cy-rup for laughs, as neither of us have seen syrup spelled that way elsewhere. <br /><br />When I made it last, I assumed 6 lemons gave 1/2 cup of juice, but that ended up tasting too sweet for those who sampled it. I'm going to base the proportions on 6 lemons equaling 3/4 cup juice next time.Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561045971486547836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-83699312320108535302011-02-17T09:46:30.438-05:002011-02-17T09:46:30.438-05:00@Jennifer Corbeil what a great question!!
