olive question and candied lemon slice question

[Guest guest]

My husband's been on scd for 5 wks , may he have green olives the kind with

pimento in them or black olives . The green kind I can make all kinds of chicken

dishes with it would help, if its allowed. And, I want to make a lemon almond

cake and put candied lemons on top, can I just use honey and candy them down .

will it work?

You can use both green and black olives (pitted). Be careful on black

olives: sometimes they are blackened using an iron-solution which may

cause intestinal distress. Do not use pimento-stuffed olives.

Regrettably, while they used to be stuffed with real pimento, now they

make a sheet of pimento flavored starch-gel, and cut it to size, and this

is not legal.

Olives are OK as long as there aren't any illegals, but be careful

because (in my experience, anyhow) there usually are illegals.

Lactose is very common. I haven't made candied peels for decades, so

it was with sugar syrup, but I don't see why honey wouldn't work,

too. Remember, though, that will be very concentrated in the sweet

department so take that into account if you need to.

Here's a recipe for Crytallized Ginger. Maybe you could sub lemon for ginger?

Yeah, and then people wonder why I mutter " make your own, " all

the time!
