You have all heard the psychologically uplifting phrase about lemons and
making lemonade when they are thrown at you? I often wonder what you are
supposed to do when things like eggs are thrown at you, make a soufflé perhaps?
Or what about watermelons? If they are thrown at you, don't worry about making
anything, just make sure that you are not underneath one when it comes down!!
Anyway, back to lemons! Or limes and oranges in actual fact.

| The 'Before' shot! |
A week ago my neighbour Emma gave me some limes. They have a tree or two on
their farm and the trees are bearing a goodly amount of fruit at the moment.
So, I squeezed them and froze the juice. The smell of fresh lime juice is
mouthwateringly good and fresh limes are hard to find in our part of the world.
Then Emma gave me some more limes along with some oranges and I decided that it
was time to do something more exciting! So, I had a go at making marmalade. I
have had several 'iffy' results with marmalade, some good and some disasters,
so I googled microwave marmalade recipes and found one that only used 500 gm of
fruit, not too much to chuck away if it all went wrong! It actually worked
quite well, so I made a couple of batches and added whiskey to the second batch.
