All Gone!
After my last lemon post I managed to pilfer a few more lemons, bringing my total to somewhere near 50. I'm happy to report that after a roast lemon chicken, 2 lemon meringue pies (one of which we gave away) and another batch of blackberry lemonade I still had enough lemons to make 5 pints of lemon marmalade. I even canned the marmalade. I've never canned anything before and after extensive research, I gave it a go and everything seemed to turn out well (meaning all the cans' tops snapped in and sealed) so I was thrilled. Now I have plenty of time to figure out what to do with 5 pints of marmalade. I documented the process with my camera:

awesome! I am impressed!
I spent the day with my food dehydrator that mr & mrs t gave us for christmas. I dried apples and strawberries, and made two trays of leather. My house smells really good right now.
What a cool gift that is! I think it would be great to dry fruit myself. Do your kids like it? I would love it if you posted pictures of the dried fruit on your blog so I could check it out. *hint hint*
Way to go on your first canning experience! I love the outcome but for some reason the process of canning is a dreaded event for me.
Impressive, and I bet your house smelled really good for a long time.
mmm... lemon anything is yummy! Send some of that marmalade over here!
