I had my first limoncello in the Cinque Terre in Italy, one of those tiny tourist bottles but we loved it so got a larger one to bring home. I think it sat there for years (tho we had a little.) Can't wait to find out what you do with the limes.Kirsten Steenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07497761140112542336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-43138159647823839672014-10-15T19:03:11.091-05:002014-10-15T19:03:11.091-05:00I'll let you know Lucinda.

They shade the trees with burlap. I just don't have many tastebuds for alcohol. I cannot stand beer and have never tasted a wine that I love as of yet. I've heard that green lemons make the most delicious limoncello; a smoother brew. Tastes like gasoline to me.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-89044839348113163602014-10-09T10:42:53.466-05:002014-10-09T10:42:53.466-05:00You are so clever about these things.

Limes are sweeter and should give a more gentle brew?! My favorite dessert of late is a limoncello sorbet.

I don't cook that much anymore. The limoncello/limencello is what I call cough medicine. I tell everyone that it works wonders for that. In fact, this stuff will bring you to your knees it is so strong. I think if you drank more than a thimble full, it might shut down your liver.

We're lime people, more than lemon, though lemons were what we used all these years, and mighty tasty they were, too. <br /><br />I've always wondered about the lure of the delectable "pickled limes" of the March sisters, and which got the unfortunate Amy into such trouble. The only recipes I've seen are limes layered in salt until they weep, and that's making my tongue curl. I cannot imagine biting into one, though tiny flicks sliced thin to tart up a dish or cut the sweet/richness of others might be nice.<br /><br />Would one of the microplane graters do the job easier, for they shower down thinthin shreds of peel with no white at all unless you go too far. And they would strain out easily, I think. But I much prefer a lovely thin slice of lime peel dropped into a pitcher of tea, or rubbed around the inside of a glass, just below the rim, to squeezing a wedge into my glass.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-64079761095098211032014-10-08T14:51:52.042-05:002014-10-08T14:51:52.042-05:00Jo, it's my only lime tree so I'm tickled....Jo, it's my only lime tree so I'm tickled.
