Farmville Inspired - Strawberry Lemonade!

This weekend I decided to try making strawberry lemonade.


Doesn't it look good? It is! And a good way to get rid of the winter blahs.


I got the recipe from My Baking Addiction, and it's pretty much a keeper! I thought it was a bit too sweet, so next time I may use a bit less sugar.

2/3 cup - 1 cup sugar
1 cup of water
2 cups strawberries
1 cup lemon juice
4-6 cups cold water (I used 4 cups)
ice
1 sliced lemon

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Place over heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool.

Place the strawberries in a food processor or blender, with 1/4 cup of water and puree.

Place the sugar syrup, strawberry puree, and lemon juice in a pitcher. Add 4 cups of water, ice and a sliced lemon and stir to combine.

Lemons Are My Favourite Thing Right Now


I recently learned the art of canning. Now when the zombie apocalypse comes, I'll have canned lemon curd on hand! Sweet!

Lemons of Mass Destruction

Lemon curd is amazing!  So amazing!

Here's how to make it!


It's so good, I think I'm going to make a couple more batches and send them to people. It must be shared!


We were going to have a picnic in the park today, but then we woke up to rain - so I decided to make an indoor picnic! The lemon curd goes really well with scones, tea, and Kung Fu Panda 2!


Saturday morning cartoons - oh yeah!
