I have made 1.5 times the quantity of DS Limoncello (otherwise known as homage to the microplane grater...). Looking forward to that at Christmas time. I am now juicing 15 lemons. I was planning on freezing the juice in ice cube trays unless anyone has any spectacular ideas on what to do with it? curd needs rind doesn't it....

It'll keep forever in the fridge. No need to freeze. Use a zap on salads. And in stews, anything fatty, and it'll cut through it nicely.

Yeah, they're fair game. But the bits will add flavour. Either way, use it. Make pancakes!

Next summer when it's unbearably hot, lemonade slushies. Alcohol added as desired. (I desire vodka added when I have mine!)
