WANTED: Thank you Lars........again!!
Comments (18)Update: The Shaker Lemon Pie was to die for! I took it to a church potluck on Sunday and thought some of those "good-Christians" were going to battle for the last piece. It's VERY easy. Slice 2 lemons very, very thinly (I kind of let them get too soft and the mandoline didn't like that...grin). Add 2 cups of sugar and macerate overnight in the fridge. The next day, add 4 beaten eggs and mix well. Pour into pie crust, top with second crust and bake at 350 degrees for ~45 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Delicious. I made lemon curd from 2 more lemons. Served with angel food and fresh strawberries. No pics……..we gobbled it up! Maybe this weekend I’ll try a recipe from the cookbook. Of course I'll be taking party pictures, Annie..... Whether or not I post them is a whole 'nother question. :) Deanna...See MoreLars, thank you...
Comments (1)You are very welcome, Tricia! You've also been a great help to me, especially last summer (or the summer before). I haven't seasoned my pan because I brush oil on the surface using tongs and a folded up paper towel. I didn't know you could season steel. One thing I like about the pan is that it is very light and therefore I do not get fatigued using it! Lars...See MoreA bit of summer in winter, thanks to Lars
Comments (18)How nice of Lars! I also send some of my lemons to friends, as we have too much to use even though I freeze a lot of juice. It's funny how we always think of citrus, and especially lemons, as summertime indulgences. They're winter fruits, the heaviest harvest is...right....now. The oldest and biggest of our three Meyers: The second: The third - I had to prune off a third of the tree as it was leaning too far into the walkway, so I lost some of what would have been harvested: Every Meyer, properly fed and watered, will give from between 50-100 lbs. of fruit, especially if the weather cooperates. One of the newer contributors to the Citrus forum is Johnmerr of Guatemala, who is attempting to develop a high quality production orchard of Meyers for export. You can see the first fruits of his efforts at the link below, if you're interested. Here is a link that might be useful: Johnmerr's Meyer Lemons for the Show...See MoreThank You Lars and Kevin
Comments (7)Here are some trees from the Olivas de Oro ranch. Kevin took this photo because I kept forgetting to take my camera with me. Olive trees need a lot of space, as they drain a lot of nutrients from the soil. There are a few oak trees still interspersed among the olive trees. Annie, there are a lot of places to go for olive oil tasting. I found out that there is a very good olive farm in Ojai, less than an hour from L.A. Ojai is a delightful town with nice restaurants, spas, and beautiful countryside. There are also olive farms in Temecula, where there are vineyards as well. I think Kevin and I will go there soon, as it is an easy day trip - we've been to Ojai several times, but will go back also. Ann, I do think that bread (especially your sourdough) is a very good way to appreciate the olive oil. I especially like the Arbequina Reserve for its fruity flavor, but I also like the Mission Reserve, which was one of my favorites. The Arbequina won a silver award, but I did not know that at the time I bought it. Annie, I look forward to your next visit to California! Lars...See More- 6 years ago
