So jealous! When I lived in Imperial Beach (1980-’82) I had neighbors that were very generous with all of their citrus and Avocados. They loved that this ‘Wisconsin Gal’ would take a lot of it off their hands! My Step-Dad used to make Limoncello. Good stuff - in moderation.

I made lemoncello once...husband broke into it early while it was “brewing” - I think the recipe I used called for 10 weeks of steeping and he couldn’t wait that long...

My lemons are very very sour so I may have to add an orange or two if I make it again - I made lemon curd yesterday but used salted instead of unsalted butter and unfortunately the result has a salty taste (to me).

OH well, have tons of lemons and will get unsalted butter when I go to the store this morning...

The old friends we just visited (and spent the night with) last night make their own limoncello. I do not know their recipe, but it was a lovely sipper before we went out for dinner. No need to imbibe much more! (It was just the ladies who partook of the limoncello before dinner, so that we had a designated driver.)

It was fun visiting with these old friends. We have MANY common interests. Gardening and sewing are two that the women share, and the boys are both into music (via vinyl) and electronics. Fun to visit with them!
