\"Limoncello\"<\/a>It’s killing me that I can’t post this recipe right away! But I have to wait until after Christmas to do it as the limoncello bottles are gifts. I never really considered limoncello as something that I needed to have. But I was watching an episode of Valerie Bertinelli where the feature was everything lemon. Not only did the limoncello look ridiculously yummy and fresh, but easy to make. The only thing it takes is time.<\/p>\n

Looking at the reviews on Valerie’s recipe,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> I decided to use a different simple syrup. This not only used up most of the lemon juice left over from the 26 zested lemons, but added colour and more lemon zing.<\/p>\n

After two weeks of steeping and the addition of the lemon juice syrup, the liqueur that was the end result is devine. It smells like lemonade, goes down smoothly, and tastes as good as it smells.<\/p>\n

\"Limoncello<\/a>Average price per bottle works out to be about $15\/bottles (26 lemons, bottles, 2L vodka, labels) and bottles at the store run about $25 and up. The work versus reward is about even, so I think if you want to give something homemade, that this is a great item, but buying quality store-bought shouldn’t be dismissed.<\/p>\n

I bought the labels from Zazzle and I have to admit I did give a bit of a “squeee!” when I saw them. <\/p>\n

I think I may plan on making limoncello again, but maybe waiting until lemons are in season to buy so many.<\/p>\n
