Goodbye Summer….Hello Fall!

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

We said goodbye to summer last weekend and welcomed autumn with open arms.  I'm VERY ready for fall, as I always am.  I believe that I was meant to live on the beach, but I would miss the change of seasons a lot.  So, for our last act of summer, we attempted home-making, hand-squeezin', sweet-lovin', sugar-laden lemonade....and it was GOOD. So good it made me almost want to have just one more month of summer....so, I'll share the recipe with you so you can kiss summer goodbye with us!

After four juicy attempts at getting one cup of lemon juice, we had to call in the big guns.

Here’s the recipe for the homemade goodness:

1 cup lemon juice (6-7 lemons)

1 cup sugar

6-7 cups water

Mix and enjoy!!!  It’s SO much better than Crystal Light! Trust us!

I saw Tyler Florence juice some lemons and limes and he sticks a fork in the citrus half to maximize the amount of juice received....I'm just sayin'....I seem to have time to learn these things from the Food Network and thought I should share my knowledge with friends :)
