While the snowstorm blusters outside, Chef Alexa is busy bottling some sunshine. Right now, she is scrapping the pith from 16 Meyer lemons to make limoncello. In a couple of weeks, we'll enjoy this Italian liqueur.
To create her limoncello, Chef Alexa combines the lemon peels, some sugar and a bottle of 100 proof vodka. A refreshing treat, it makes me remember the warmer times. I can almost feel sunshine and smell ocean breezes.
For summer weddings, limoncello makes a tasteful favor--especially if you make it yourself. You can put it in pretty little bottles and use ribbon to attach a tag. Easy and inexpensive, this makes a great, personal way to thank your friends and family for attending. No one will throw this away!

While organic lemons are healthier, we couldn't find any Meyers that were. I think that any type of lemon will work fine.
If you have any questions about making limoncello, Chef Alexa is glad to answer them. Just write her at lemleyscatering@sbcglobal.net.
