Serves: 250mls
Ingredients
- 200g raw caster sugar, or plain caster sugar
- 200g freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Place sugar and lemon juice into TM bowl and cook 8 minutes / 100 / speed 1 / no MC
- Pour hot liquid into a jug and allow to cool completely
- Once cool place into a sealed container and keep in the fridge (I use a recycled maple syrup container - see picture - which holds the amount perfectly)
- Syrup will keep in the fridge for at least six weeks by which time I have usually used it up
Notes
To me lemon is nature's natural "seasoning" and I just love it. So in addition to preserved lemons, I always have syrup in the fridge, and use it to:
* sometimes drizzle over cakes and muffins (anything with lemon or berries) when they are on individual plates ready to be served
* sprinkled lightly over “green” baked veggies if needing a little lift (i.e. cabbage, brussel sprouts, beans, etc.) ... do this as soon as they come out of the oven, and be light handed with it
* lightly stirred through mixed berries destined for desserts (i.e. blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries), which gives them a little lift and a lovely shine, or
* drizzled over individual serves of filo custard-based desserts (i.e. Souffra, Bougasta, etc.) ... the lemon always goes with these types of desserts and gives them an unexpected "zing"
