Question: Any good ideas of what to do with a lot of lemons!?
Answers:
My favorite recipe!.!.!.

1-2lbs chicken (depends on the size pan you have, has to be covered, at min, a large frying pan, better, a larger "everything pan"
4-8 lemons
artichokes or a hardy vegetable to taste
salt and pepper

Brown chicken in a little oil and butter in the pan, in batches if needed, sprinkle with salt and pepper while cooking!. Just brown, do not cook!.
After chicken has been browned, put all the chicken on the bottom of the pan, then layer on a layer of lemons that have been sliced thin, skin on, cover completely!. Cover that layer with artichokes (plain canned are best) and then another layer of lemon!. Cover and lower heat to low!. Let cook for around 45 minutes until chicken is tender!.

Serve over rice or noodles!. The chicken will fall apart!. We prefer thighs but you can use any cut!. I have also done this with large chunks of fresh zuchinni and I know people have added frozen mixed veggies - whatever you use, has to be able to be cooked for a long time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Like the old saying goes, if life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

1 3/4 cups white sugar
8 cups water
1 1/2 cups lemon juice

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water!. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar!. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled!.
Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp!. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you do not want to use all the lemons at once you can squeeze the juice and freeze it in small containers and use it when ready!. I would suggest you measure about 1/4 cup to each container and mark it so you will remember how much you have!. It will be ready then for pie, cake, lemon aide or whatever you need it for!.

What i do with my lemons is juice them then pour In to a container in the fridge when i fancy a nice lime or lemon soda it is simple!.
Another thing i do is slice or wedge the lemons open freeze then put in a container in the freezer when you fancy a drink or have friends round use the frozen lemons instead of ice cubesWww@FoodAQ@Com

You could make or do:

Lemonade
Lemon merange or cream pie
Lemon squares
Lemon sugar cookies
Use the juice in cooking/stir fry/scampi
Add the juice to iced tea/soda
Squeeze on fish or other seafood or on steamed veggies instead of salt
Lemon curd
If you have a garbage disposal, cut up a lemon and run it through - this will both clean and freshen it
Lemon sherbert or sorbet
Lemon cake with coconut frosting
Freeze the juice in ice cube trays and then transfer the cubes to an Ziploc bag for later use or use in as ice cubes in your lemonade
Punch

They also make awesome decorative pieces - just take a clear glass vase or bowl and put a little water in it and layer limes and lemons or just lemons with some other pop of color - it's so pretty for summer!

Right off the top of my head, lemon curd would be amazing and you could freeze that and store it - and if all else fails - share!Www@FoodAQ@Com

whatever you do with the juice, have fun! Once you have all those rinds, make Limoncello!.!.!.!.
mmmmm!.!.!.!.!.

I personally would drink iced tea all day and then pisco sours in the evening with a nice limoncello to finish off the day!
(pisco capel,lemon juice,powdered sugar, ice)Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you squeeze them and make lemon juice, you can freeze it in ice cube trays!. You'll have time to think about what to do with it afterwards and won't feel compelled to use it all right away!. You can even rasp the rinds and freeze that, too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

of course ppl!. will say LEMONADE, but wat the hell!. why have lemonade 24/7!?!? why not have a bbq(soy sauce, pineapples, vinegar, darkbrown sugar--island style--*)THE BEST!!!
