Cooking with Jack, Part 5 - Limoncello (lemon zest liqueur)
By Jack Brummet
Limoncello (lemon zest liqueur)
15 lemons (organic if possible/affordable), well scrubbed
2 750ml 100 proof vodka
4 cups cane sugar
5 cups water
1. Carefully zest the lemons, leaving no/very little white pith on the peel. Pour one bottle of vodka in a large jar or ceramic container and add the peel as it is zested. Freeze the juice or use it in something!
2. Let sit for at least ten days and up to a month in a cool dark place.
3. Combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Cook about 5 minutes until the syrup thickens. Allow to cool.
4. Add to the limoncello mixture with the second bottle of vodka. Allow to rest for another 30 days or more.
5. Strain using a fine sieve or cheesecloth and bottle. Keep one bottle handy in your freezer. Serve it cold and straight, on the rocks, or in a cocktail with seltzer and bitters. People also use it on ice cream and in other desserts.
