Lemon Cake? Maybe next season! This nationals it was all about the Key Lime Pie.....

[sneakattack]

Ingredients
10 large lemons
4 cups water
4 cups sugar

Instructions
Using vegetable peeler, remove yellow part of peel in strips from lemons. Cut strips into 1-by 1/8-inch strips. With knife, cut off all white membrane, or pith, from peeled lemons.

Cut peeled lemons crosswise into 1/4- inch-thick slices. In heavy nonaluminum 5-quart kettle or Dutch oven, combine lemon peel, sliced fruit, and water. Cover and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours.

Heat lemon mixture to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently.

Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lemon mixture is very soft, about 1 hour.

Add sugar to lemon mixture and increase heat to medium-high; stir until sugar dissolves. Heat to boiling and reduce heat just so mixture boils gently. Boil uncovered, stirring frequently, until candy thermometer registers 220 degrees F., 45 to 60 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare three 1-pint canning jars with their lids and bands for processing following manufacturer's directions.

Spoon marmalade into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch space at top ofjars.

Wipe jar rims clean. Seal with lids and bands. Process jars in boiling-water bath 15 minutes. Cool jars on wire rack. Label jars; store in cool, dry place.

Yield: 3 pints

Lemon Meringue Pie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pastry
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter
1/3 cup cold vegetable shortening
5 tbsp ice water

Lemon Curd
2 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch, plus 2 tbsp.
10 egg, yolks
1 cup lemon, juice
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
grated zest of 4 lemon

Meringue
4 egg, whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp lemon, juice

Directions:

Pastry
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Sift the dry ingredients together.
With a pastry cutter, blend in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water gradually until dough forms.
Pat the dough into a flat disk and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Roll the dough into a 13-inch round. Place it into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
Pierce the bottom with a fork.
Place a piece of parchment or tinfoil in the shell. Fill the shell with pie weights.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the pie weights and paper and continue to bake about 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and set. Cool on a wire rack.

Lemon Curd
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1 cup of water until dissolved. Set aside.
In a small saucepan add egg yolks, lemon juice, sugar, lemon zest and salt and the remaining 1 cup of water.
Cook over medium low heat for one minute, stirring constantly. The mixture should not boil but the sugar should dissolve.
When the sugar has dissolved pour in the cornstarch mixture and turn up the heat to medium.
Cook mixture, stirring continuously with a spoon so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom or the sides of the pan.
Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until it has started to boil, thickens and becomes translucent.
Set filling aside to cool slightly.
Immediately make meringue so filling stays warm.

Meringue
Whip egg whites on high speed.
Immediately add cream of tartar and whip until soft peaks form.
While whipping, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time to allow it to dissolve.
Add the lemon juice at the end when the meringue is shiny and holds medium stiff peaks.
Assembly
Pour the warm filling into the cooled pie shell and spread the meringue on top, making sure to reach the edges of the pastry.
Use your spatula to swirl the meringue into peaks.
Cook the pie at 375 degrees F. for about 6 minutes until meringue is just golden.



not that easy to make but the effort is worth it

[Katman]

Lemon + salt + tequila = drunkeness.

Rep please.

That should be limes, mang.

Lemon + Lime + soda = Sprite, in theory.

[Fencergrl]

1) Take a nice tall glass of ice water*
2) Slice a lemon,
3) Squeeze some juice in the water and drop the lemon slice in.
4) Sit back on your deck chair with you big floppy hat on.
5) Spend the day wolf whistling at the guys walking by.
*Works well with rum as well.
