The photo above is of a box of bush lemons from Tuntable Creek near Nimbin that were given to me by my friend Kim and her man Ken. They have excellent juiciness and zestiness, great colour, and are relatively blemish free. Bush lemons are a naturalised (feral) plant in Australia, and they grow well in subtropical climates like Northern NSW.
I took some of these into Harvey's where PJ gave them his tick of approval "Excellent, excellent!". I have offered Ken 6 dozen crown seal home brew bottles so he may well be bringing some more up with him next time. Awesome!
Another outcome of my friendination is that I have discovered that my friend Marilyn is a keen Limoncello maker. This is great news as Tony has expressed interest in making Limoncello and I have expressed an interest in drinking it. Marilyn says it takes about 8 weeks to make which is neither here nor there for me but good to know none the less. She also loves bush lemons and thanks to good timing received a fullsome bag of bush lemons on her doorstep last Friday.
i have a new favourite word... 'friendinate'...thanks for sharing.
