The further south you go in Italy, the more likely you are to encounter a small glass of chilled limoncello (lee-mon-CHAY-low) with your meal. 

We are still drinking up the bottles we brought home, but when I discovered the cost of this yellow liqueur, I started hunting for a recipe.  I found a ton of them, but remember, it takes almost three months to make limoncello.

     Enjoy,
     Nancy

PS  This is one of those recipes that allows flexibility.  Use more lemon zest or sugar if you like and see what happens.  But chose lemons that are free of chemicals and the very best vodka you can afford.

You'll need:

  • 10 organic lemons
  • 1 liter of the very best 100 proof vodka
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 4 cups water
  • Clean glass bottle / bottles big enough to hold the total volume of ingredients - probably two
  • Corks for the bottles

Wash the lemons very thoroughly.

Zest the lemons, being very careful to discard all the white pith.

Put the lemon zest and vodka in a large jar. 

Cover the jar and store it in a cool dark place for at least 40 days.40 days later, make a syrup of the sugar and water by boiling them for five minutes, stirring carefully.

Allow the sugar syrup to cool completely.

Combine the sugar syrup with the vodka mixture, cover and return the jar to your cool dark place for at least two weeks or for another 40 days if you choose. 

After your limoncello has aged, strain it into your clean bottles and cork them.

Store bottles of limoncello in the cupboard.

To serve, freeze a bottle of limoncello overnight.
