This is a three part recipe that takes 22 days till complete.... we tripled the recipe....This is our trial run...If this turns out, we will be doing this for gifts next Christmas along with other homemade goodies...A way to use up some of our fresh bounty of lemons from our little lemon tree....
1.wash and dry your lemons
with a potato peeler set your lemon on end and shave off the yellow rind in a downward direction, try not to cut to much of the white pith off.
add peel to your jar and empty the bottle or bottles of Everclear on top into the jar
seal your jar with plastic wrap or lid as so the alcohol won't evaporate.
put to the side for 12 days.
2.on the 12 day boil water and then add your sugar and stir till dissolved
set aside to cool.
strain your lemon peels out of your alcohol mixture into another container or pot through a colander or wire mesh strainer.
add the sugar-water to your strained alcohol and mix well
then put back into your glass jar for 10 more days
3.after the 10th day the Lemoncello is ready.
funnel into bottles and seal with cork or lids...great for gift giving...homemade from your own kitchen...
