Lemon sugar

Good day!
In "Metro" there was another action, lemons at a ridiculous price, of course, I bought a box, and there are 8.5 in it !!! kg !!!
I gave it to my mother-in-law, the eldest son, there is a lot left, the question arises: "What to do with them !?
On my favorite forum, where I am an active reader, not a writer, I found this wonderful recipe, which was very useful to me and the result pleased me!
Many thanks to the author!

Qween
I also came to say thank you very much for this wonderful sugar!
I really liked using it as a filling for rolls.

[Qween]

Back in May, I made a huge amount of 1/1 lemon sugar and put it in the basement. There are still a couple of jars there, the lemons in them survived the Antalya summer and did not deteriorate.
Qween, many thanks to you for the recipe, he saved me from constantly cooking compotes.

It’s really true: Live forever, learn… For half my life I made lemon on 1x1 honey and a little dried apricots. They speak well for the heart. Suddenly, an allergy to honey came. To think of sugar. I didn't think of it ... Thanks for the idea, I went to plan.

And I got lemon sugar with a bitter taste ... It is weak, and it is felt only as an aftertaste, but still a little unpleasant.
I read somewhere that in order for such ground lemons not to taste bitter, they need to be soaked in cold water for 24 hours (before grinding) or, to make it faster, pour over boiling water. Nobody used this method, does it really help?
I really liked the deliciousness and simplicity of making lemon sugar, and I really don't want to bother with grinding the zest and pulp separately

I pour boiling water over the lemons before chopping. I did not notice that it strongly removes the bitterness. I like the bitterness.

If the lemons are bitter, they should not be doused with boiling water, but boiled for a couple of minutes in boiling water.
But the most important thing is to carefully remove the bones! You will not notice one, write-it was lost, it will taste bitter.

If the lemons are bitter, they should not be doused with boiling water, but boiled for a couple of minutes in boiling water.

Yeah, or pour boiling water over and leave until the water cools completely, I checked it works!

I report on the work done:
1) I chopped a lemon with sugar in a blender - hmmm!
2) Made lemon peels. Did not like. The lemon is soaked on top with sugar, and inside the sour-y-yatina, br-rr.
3) Made orange peels in syrup. Didn't have time to taste - already eaten
4) Grind a lemon with a 1x1 orange and sugar in a blender. The taste is different from just lemon, a little softer, probably. We finish eating.
Now, the week was not in vain

: wow: l Girls on January 31 made lemon sugar. At first, my husband was skeptical about my decision to make immediately from 2 kg of lemons. I made 1.5 kg with sugar, and 0.5 kg made with honey. With sugar, it turned out to be tighter (more like jam), and with honey, a more liquid mass. In general, I am a big lover of lemon, for myself I just squeezed the juice and poured it in everything I could - from meat to coffee. But when he saw my face when I licked a spoon, he said that again all the most delicious past him and demanded that a jar with this yummy be prepared for him for work. The son now drinks mineral water only with lemon sugar. I've done this before, but with the addition of cranberries. Only half will be able to brew properly, since one part has already been eaten.

Girls! And at home yesterday, another jar of lemon sugar ended, so my husband, with horror in his eyes and tragedy in his voice, asked: "How are we going to live without him? ..."
She promised to make some more sugar for my "lemon-dependent" spouse.

our family also always made such "lemon sugar", only in our family it was called lemon jam, although we did not cook it at all
Now, in my family, I also make such a lemon with sugar, with an orange we used to make jam, that is, I add pectin and cook a little, and also such a very tasty "feihuy jam" and healthy of course too

Does it work exactly? The bones are all sorted out - that's for sure!
And then I also clocked, thank God, only from 500 g of lemons, but there is bitterness. My husband is not very good at it, I would like to get rid of bitterness.

What for lemon / orange peels?

Maybe not crusts but lobules?
so this is the beginning:
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...tion=com_smf&topic=8743.0

Does it work exactly?

Works. I always chew a piece of the crust for insurance before using it.

A wonderful method of disposing of unclaimed citrus fruits. There were 3 tangerines that no one wanted to eat and one lime. Peeled the peel, put it in a jar. It turned out 135 gr. Poured 100 grams of sugar into a jar and beat with a submersible blender. The result is a delicious and aromatic syrup.

[Stеrn]

Stеrn , I cooked my new lemons and they became completely soft, cooked for 2-3 minutes no more. This is normal? I barely cut them

Lemons become a little softer after cooking, but so that completely ...

The bitterness, of course, disappeared ... But this softness does not lead to questions, but did I digest everything useful? By the way, last time with 500 g of lemons, 1 liter came out and a small bowl for testing, now there is not even a liter, somewhere 1 \ 5 liters is not enough.
In the next. I won't cook it once, but pour it in boiling water and leave it for a couple of minutes.

Girls, has anyone tried making lemon sugar from limes? Is the taste radically different, or is the game not worth the candle?

It depends on where you live. Here I now only have them (Limes) dear ones. Well, lemons don't grow in India. Local lime tastes different from ordinary lemon, a little bit bitter and more aromatic. If you have a choice, buy a couple and make with sugar. It will immediately become clear whether the game is worth the money. All the same, the taste of the neighbor will be different

And I didn't even cook it, but put it in boiling water for 30 minutes. Did not like...
The bitterness, maybe, has become a little less, but sugar from "boiled" lemons is not so aromatic.

Persuaded, I'll try! Everything is relative!

I cut off the lemon peel and kept it in boiling water separately from the lemon pulp, removed the seeds and partitions, added the kumquat (also pitted) and a little orange peel, and ground everything together with a blender.

[Qween]

Once upon a time, my mother-in-law made such lemon sugar. I read the recipe and even felt the taste of this sugar. I bought a couple of kilos of lemons and made sugar. Only lemons first soaked a couple of days in cold water, changing it 4 -5 times a day. My men remained indifferent to the lemon potion, so I got EVERYTHING ..
I want to add to the list where you can apply lemon sugar:
- anoint a piece of white bread with lemon sugar, and on top a piece of your favorite hard cheese;
- while preparing mayonnaise, instead of sugar and lemon juice, I added a transparent part of sugar.
Qween, thank you very much.

Lemon sugar making season is coming! ...

Who has already done? I start

[himichka]

himichka, we do all year round.

I'm getting started too! lemons with a thin skin were bought yesterday

Lemon sugar making season is coming! ... Who has already done? I start

I made it out of lime (they brought it from vacation, I had to attach it). Me from lemon tastes better! Of course, lime is also good, but not quite that (IMHO) ...

[himichka]

himichka, we do all year round.

In the summer we somehow do not go. And now, when it got colder (from +27 last Saturday to +9 this afternoon) I want something like that. Already done. Right now I will bake bread with both its butter and lemon spread

For me, as a person with increased stupidity, it is not clear. To calculate the proportions based on their weight or the volume of a twisted lemon?

[Flower]

Flower,
I took weight - and, moreover, a whole lemon Lemon to sugar 1: 2, + -:) It seems to me that all this is unprincipled - it happened and there was less sugar at home than necessary - it still turned out to be delicious!

[Flower]

Flower, focus on weight.

Stands in the room and does not turn sour? Should I put it in the refrigerator?

[simfira]

Stands in the room and does not turn sour? Should I put it in the refrigerator?

simfira, at room temperature, it’s not that it turned sour, but it began to get covered with mold on top ... So now I only store it in the refrigerator. Fair For the sake of it, I note that in the ratio 1 (lemons): 2 (sugar) I never did it, I did 1: 1 and 1: 1.5.

Thanks for the recipe !!! always, when I wanted to make tea with lemon, I rubbed lemon with sugar in a mug (which was always too lazy to do), and then poured boiling water over it. Now that there is a preparation of lemon sugar, tea with lemon is prepared for one or two times. First, I tried the recipe for 4 lemons, ate it almost instantly, and my daughter (2.9 years old) did so in general - as she saw a jar on the table, she said: "Mommy, give me a lemon hakhar (she doesn't pronounce the letter" c "yet), please !!! " Well, instead of jam, she swallowed it with spoons. The subsequent preparation was already from 3 kilograms of lemon !!!

I didn’t even know that it’s so called "Lemon sugar", we have been making this treat for a very long time, just like sour berries (cranberries, currants, strawberries, etc.) you grind with sugar, but you cannot name currant sugar or strawberry sugar, but the meaning is one.

I read the topic about lemon sugar and was surprised to do a three-liter jar !!!
I so modestly ground a half-liter on a blender, tried it and ............... realized that a three-liter jar is the most suitable container for lemon sugar !!! Aromatic, sour, with hot tea is what you need.
Qween !!!

Girls, sorry, did not see your answers.

To your health!

a three-liter jar is the most suitable container for lemon sugar !!!

Yes exactly ! I did it once, and then only the sugar is infused and tastes good. I put this sugar in liter jars. Then one can is on the table, and the rest are in the refrigerator.
By the way, lemon sugar diluted in boiling water is the only sweet drink (and always with it a cheese sandwich) that I have been drinking since childhood. The relish of dynasty (Ukrainian), that is, the taste of childhood.

Thanks for reminding me!
For me lemon "twisted" with sugar is a symbol and a way to recover from a cold. That is now for the third week I have been withering. We urgently need to make lemon sugar! And how could I forget? It's good that there is a forum where they can teach everything.

Anyutka, thank you very much, I have been doing it for a long time, but I only guessed to unsubscribe now.



We drink with my husband and father at work all the time.

[Qween]

Qween, thanks for the recipe!


I chopped lemon and sugar with knives in a combine 1 to 2, probably next time I will make it sour - 1 to 1.5.
Your lemon sugar has become a great filling for Lemon Fender

[Qween]

Qween, thank you very much ! It's so delicious - you can't stop.
I had three lemons, pulled on - ~ 450g, sugar 800g. Yesterday it turned out almost 900g of the bank.And today that's what's left



So I bought more lemons today. You have to find out, maybe the infused one is even tastier.

Oh class! In general, I really like lemons) I even drink lemon juice, although most do not like it) I will try to make such sugar) Opening the day for me)

Thank you, Inna, for the recipe! Previously, like many, I just cut a lemon and insisted with sugar, but now we will enjoy lemon sugar 2.5 liters infused

I am ashamed to admit that I still have no scales .... no ..... Now, if you grind lemons and focus on volume, how will the proportion change? Can you do 1: 1.5 too?

Made 2 cans of 0.5 liters. One is a little sweeter, the other sour. Delicious, drink both cold and hot. Sour and sweet. in short, delicious. lemons insisted all the time, a little neto, grinded with a blender, in 2 days 2 people drank 0.5 liters. thanks for the recipe, to the piggy bank

Today I bought lemons, did it! I don’t know in what proportion, I twisted the lemons in a blender, filled 1/3 of 2 cans of 700 grams, the rest was sugar. Yes, I almost forgot, there was half an orange, added to one can. I have already tried it, really a taste from childhood. Thanks to the afftor for the reminder !!!!

Wow, how delicious! Tomorrow run to buy a lot of many lemons and twist twist

Made lemons with tangerines (peeled tangerines) it turned out very, very tasty. My child does not eat citrus fruits, but eats lemon sugar with great pleasure. Now I will do it constantly. THANKS for the recipe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
