There are all kinds of wonderful treats you can make with lemons, like all the ones you mentioned. I also use them for cleaning. A friend who owns a <a href="http://goldenshine.com/green-cleaning.php" rel="nofollow">green cleaning</a> service taught me how to use a half a lemon. It works pretty well when I'm in a pinch.

The best I can hope for here in Eastern Canada is maple syrup next month...although we do have excellent potatoes here in the summer and apples in the fall. Freezing the lemon juice is such a good idea...my favorite part of all that citrus would be the blossoms on the trees...I bet the air there smells wonderful when the trees are in bloom.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768563948361203334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-88659940188722034402013-01-16T05:48:01.336-07:002013-01-16T05:48:01.336-07:00I'll come get all the grapefruit, but I guess ...I'll come get all the grapefruit, but I guess it's a little far to travel since I'm in TN.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539535944862788478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-20547857224802561522013-01-15T14:28:39.707-07:002013-01-15T14:28:39.707-07:00We have lemons too!

Total comfort food.<br />2 eggs<br />1/2 c melted butter<br />1c sugar<br />8oz plain yogurt<br />2c flour<br />1tsp baking powder<br />1/2 tsp (or more!) lemon zest<br />1c blueberries<br />Mix eggs, melted butter & sugar. Stir in yogurt. Stir (or sift in -- if your feeling fancy!) the dry ingredients. Them fold in berries & zest. Bake 375 for 25 min. Also works well with cranberries & orange zest.SarahBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943344212723520123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-79707503928427437542013-01-15T10:34:58.926-07:002013-01-15T10:34:58.926-07:00Here's one recipe you might try with your grap...Here's one recipe you might try with your grapefruit that could make you change your mind about it...

I...Brent's favorite is lemon meringue pie... I've probably made hundreds of those pies since we've been married. We have a really nice lemon tree in the back, and a meyer lemon in a large pot in the front. I really like our lemon trees, because they are the only citrus the squirrels here won't eat! In an emergency, they'd be a terrific source of vitamin C.<br />And of course,the blossoms. One of life's little pleasures are the blossoms of a citrus tree.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137889943066849207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-34226632291839654092013-01-14T20:33:17.827-07:002013-01-14T20:33:17.827-07:00yes, beth, let's get together! i think we need...yes, beth, let's get together! i think we need a mid-winter freeze pick me up, and a play date sounds like just the thing.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399191040892859634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-69125930509160304112013-01-14T17:25:10.357-07:002013-01-14T17:25:10.357-07:00we dont like grapefruit either. blech. i am going ...we dont like grapefruit either. blech. i am going to try your freezing idea, its brilliant! and i think we need to get together with the kids- maybe next week?Ella A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02129493208998004642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-25368537783759271022013-01-14T13:33:01.163-07:002013-01-14T13:33:01.163-07:00Yes, we had to get our oranges off the tree becaus...Yes, we had to get our oranges off the tree because it's so cold.

That's a great variety of trees you have.
