#emoji-match my #lemon-tree grows fruit year round y’all #lemon

What a great looking lemon. Mine gets heaps of buds but aborts soon after. :(

@mandajayne sorry to hear that. Are the flowers getting pollinated? My lemons are bearing fruit year round.

Yes I get tiny lemon, one got to the size of a golf ball then, but they soon drop off.

Lemons are ripe. #lemon #lemon-tree

All the lemon meringue I could make with those! They look so good.

@columbiariver yes this tree is in full sun tree 🍋

@mandajayne I wish I know how to make lemon 🍋 meringue

@gjones I usually share them with family and friends

Could always give you the recipe if you wanted. I'd never made it before the start of this year and now I've probably made it 100 times. I can't stop eating them. Lol

@mandajayne your so kind I would I appreciate it

So it's made up of 3 parts. For the pastry you need 9 inch pastry tin. 250 grams plain flour, 125g unsalted butter, 3 tbsp caster sugar, 2 egg yolks, 2 tbsp cold milk and pinch salt. Add flour and sugar and salt to a bowl, then rub butter in until it resembles fine bread crumbs. Add 2 egg yolks and 1.5 tbsp milk. Mix together with a fork, if too dry Add more of the milk. Then place it fridge for 30 mins. Roll out and place in pastry tin. Cook in 180 c oven for 25 mins with baking beads inside.

Remove baking beads, cook for further 5 mins. Take out of oven. Then make the lemon curd.

Lemon curd needs around 200- 225mls lemon juice ( 2 good sized lemons usually does it but may take 3), rind of one lemon, 1 and quarter cup sugar, 3 tbsp cornflour, 2 tbsp flour, pinch sugar, 1.5 cups water, 40 grams butter 4 lemon yolks. Save all the white for the meringue.

Put all ingredients except butter and yolks in saucepan. Warm on medium heat, till starts to boil. Cook for 45 seconds more. Turn off heat. Add butter, mix in. Then tempter egg yolks with around .5cup of lemon mix. Then add egg yolks mixture back to saucepan and again add heat until boiling, after 30 seconds take off heat add to pastry case. Put gladwrap on top and put in fridge.

Lemons are almost ready #lemon #lemontree

😍😍😍🌞

@gjones thanks I’m going to freeze whatever I don’t use this time. We didn’t have an abundant fruits this year because my husband cut the tree in half because he wanted the tree to grow tall. But I laughed after he cut it with talking to me first because he didn’t know that this hybrid lemon grows as a bush tree and not a tall tree. It’s perfect for short people. 😆 🍋
