I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

The Lemon

Citrus limon

Family Rutaceae

As we all know the lemon is an oval yellow green fruit with acidic juice used for drinks and flavoring. Meyer Lemons are thin skinned and slightly less acidic than other varieties. Meyer Lemons are known as
" backyard lemons " because they are not sold commercially. They are too fragile to ship.

Gingered Fresh Lemonade

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup crystallized ginger cut into thin strips

2 strips about 3 in fresh lemon peel

3 1/4 cups cold water

1 1/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice

Ice cubes

1 lemon cut into cartwheel slices

In a saucepan, bring 1 cup water, sugar, ginger, and lemon peel to a boil. Reduce heat and briskly simmer for 15 minutes. Remove and discard lemon peel. Add 3 1/2 cups cold water and lemon juice. Chill several hours...best overnight, in a covered container. Serve in tall glasses over ice cubes and lemon garnish wheels. Next you head for the front porch swing and kick your shoes off. Just a swingin!
