Citrus Season
July 13, 2012
Fruit and vegetable well calibrated and strategically displayed under artificial light at a supermarket do not appeal to me as much as the ones on an open air market. Market where I enjoy going weekly to choose my produce and seeing how it changes depending on the season. And right now it's citrus season !
When we were in the Wairarapa a couple of weeks ago, Margot kindly offered that we picked some lemons from her prolific tree. The fruits cheerfully hanging were so fragrant ! I gladly obliged.
Back home, I made some lemon achard. It will macerate for several weeks while we are away and I hope it'll turn out good. I also kept a couple of lemons and baked this citrus pudding, adapting it slightly, using yogurt instead of milk and reducing the butter and sugar quantities.
Paprika and I liked it. It's a good fix on a chilly winter night and an alternative to the usual crumble I always think of when I want something sweet, warm and comforting...
