When life gives you lemons...

[ebonlock]

It took me about 5 minutes to pick these this afternoon, it didn't even put a dent in my heavily-laden tree

...beg your friends list for lemon-based recipes. Seriously, people, I'm up to my neck in the little yellow bastards and they just keep coming. So I'm asking you, my friends, for your favorite/family recipes or recipe ideas to use as many of these things as possible. It's that or give them to all my local friends for Xmas and nobody wants it to come to that, do they?

recipe: Trina's Lemon Delight

[elenderel.livejournal.com]

(she isn't particularly careful in how she writes out recipes so I'll do the best I can here)

Trina's Lemon Delight

Graham crust
1 pkg lemon pie filling mix

Make the pie filling mix according to directions. (she uses 1/4 C lemon juice in place of 1/4 C of the water)

8 oz cream cheese
whipped topping
1 tbl lemon juice (probably more)
1/2 C confectioners' sugar

Soften the cream cheese and mix together with the sugar. Mix in lemon juice. Fold in the whipped topping. (You can reserve 1/2 C of this mixture for the top if desired.) Chill 1 hour.

Pour into pie shell and chill 4-5 hours. If you reserved some of the filling, you can pipe it on top in a decorative manner (snip the corner of a gallon plastic storage bag, fill it with stuff and then squish it out).

"Eat it up!" :)
