    Hi all, sorry to create another thread, have followed Sqeaky's advice and still cannot find what I am looking for. I feel sure that a thread with recipes for this sort of thing exists but I cannot find it!

    I have quite a few lemons to use up and had the idea of using them to make HM Christmas gifts. Please could anyone suggest anything?

    So far I have thought of:

    Lemon curd
    Limoncello (bit expensive!)

    Lemon marmalade (yum) here I've made this and it's lovely!
    Moroccan preserved lemons (very cheap and easy and unusual) here good in Moroccan food. I made some for some foodie friends and they were delighted.
    Limoncello is gorgeous! (even if it is a wee bit pricey)

    And all sorts of threads on lemons: lemon threads here on Old Style MoneySaving
    Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.

    Lemon Curd! I absolutely love it! would be thrilled if someone made me a jar (large please)!
    I am also partial to candied lemon slices. (hint).
    failing that - you could also send me Lemon Meringue Pie - Its my favourite dessert! (I am not sweet toothed and love something both tart and sweet to finish a meal (I mean if I absolutely have to do a dessert!) and if someone else makes it so much the better.
    Aldi do a Lemon cheesecake - thats delish too - perhaps there is a recipe out there in tinterland?
