Re: Recipe for Lemonade...Patti and others

Kristie,

I don't make lemonade, so I can't give all the proportions; I'll leave

that to someone who does make it. But, assuming you don't have

something fancier to get the juice out of lemons, you first need to go

to the housewares department of Wal-Mart or a housewares store and

look for something like this:

Sometimes they are made of plastic or glass and they can certainly be

cheaper than the one at this link. I just wanted you to be able to

see what you are looking for. Then rinse your lemons and cut them in

half. Put the lemon half onto the dome and turn and turn and turn

back and forth(while pushing) so that you get out all the juice you

can. Then use a tea stainer (small fine strainer) to strain out seeds

and pulp. One lemon can give you anywhere from 2 to 4 tablespoons of

juice. They are not all the same size. :-)

Here's another type of lemon squeezer, but I've never used this kind:

Good luck!

Pampered Chef makes a device that peals, cores, and slices apples into rings all

at one time. My mom has had it for years, and loves it. Also, a food mill is

great. When I make applesauce, pearsauce, or anything like that I use it. I

just halve my apple, throw them in the pot with a bit of water, and cook until

soft. Then, I put them through the fooid mill with the finest holes. It purees

it into sauce while keeping the pealing and seeds out. You can get one at any

kitchen shop, on Amazon, ect.

Recipe for Lemonade...Patti and others

Please post an actual lemonade recipe. I need things written I can't

just go with it to make some lemonade....I know many people can cook

that way but I need ingredients written down and I follow along that

way. If you can let me know exactly how much and what I need and how

long it lasts and how much you get from squeezing lemons that would be

awesome! ALSO is there an easier way to do all this..peeling,

squeezing the juice out, coring apples and such?? Is there a good tool

I can use or some kind of device? Seriously write to me like I am not

a novice in the kitchen because I am SO...not and truly cooking SCD is

my first experience with " cooking "
