Crystallised lemon

Recommended Posts

I have about a pound of crystallised lemon (in "whole" quarters) that I bought a few months ago and haven't used.

I'd be most grateful for suggestions for cakes or desserts.

I posted a Lemon Polenta cake here http://recipes.egullet.org/recipes/r1298.html reckon it would make a nice addition to the recipe. :smile:

Perfection cant be reached, but it can be strived for!

Thanks for the idea! How long do you normally soak the polenta?

Just a little longer than the ingredients are being creamed together! Might want to take a little of the sugar out to compensate for the lemon wouldn't take much off try it as it stands if its too sweet take some off next time you make it.

It's nice on lots of things--like sliver it and top a sorbet, or on a coconut cake. It is beautiful and tasty garnish for any dessert that tastes good with lemons. Or how about on fresh berries and whipped cream.

You could send it to me! :laugh:
