WINTER GIFT OF CITRUS SUNSHINE.

     Our wonderful neighbors who share the Buckman Compound with us spend the winter at their home in Nashville.  The Christmas season of 2015 they gifted us with an amazing abundance of Meyer lemons  The photo at the left is about half of the total sum.  Needless to say I got very busy learning what to do with lemons beside seasoning fresh fish. 
     Two recipes I found became that our favorites were Pennsylvania Dutch lemon pie and lemon upside-down cake.  The cake is pictured below.  It was heavy, moist and very rich.  A small slice with a good cup of coffee made for a perfect afternoon snack.  It stored well and a week after preparation it was still as fresh and moist as the day it was made.  Looking at the photos makes my mouth water even now.  This truly was a gift that kept on giving as we were enjoying yummy lemon concoctions for many weeks after the holidays.
