I made a fresh batch of limoncello from a recipe that I found in Sunset magazine. I added three sprigs of lavender to the steeping. It added a nice flavor too it.
Unfortunately it’s way too sweet and I like sweet, but that’s just the recipe. I’ll can change it next time when I make it with some rosemary.
I made this batch with 100 proof vodka and let me tell you it’s strong!

I keep mine in the fridge and serve it over ice in small portions too. Makes a nice dessert drink.

I spent four years in Sicily trying to develop a taste for Limoncello but it just never happened. And believe me, I’ve sampled a LOT of them, both store-bought and homemade. There are tons of dessert recipes out there for it, though. My only advice for consuming it is to drink it very cold (we always stored ours in the freezer) and in very small amounts, the way it’s served in Italy. Love that top photo…absolutely beautiful!

Okay…safe to say…if you had cooked your artichokes longer…you would have been happier! Cooking soooo makes the difference!! And then…the limoncello…I’m not sure what proof vodka you used…regardless…leave it in the bottle…until, maybe you’re ready to try and taste it again…it always gets better…Good Luck !!!

Try it as a marinade for steak or fish on the grill.How about as a dressing for salad.

You can put it on ice cream, in iced tea, and in lots of mixed drinks. I’ve also seen normal food recipes that use it as well. It’s best straight from the freezer on a hot summer day though!

Rachael Ray made a recipe for Limoncello Pasta recently on her talk show that you might want to check out. In the meantime, beautiful pictures … where’d you get the comment cards? LOVE that idea!

I love Giada, but truthfully – I’m with you; she’s off the mark on the artichoke leaves. Way too chewy, and I don’t think all that good for your digestive track??

Anyway, I’m not a huge fan of limoncello – though I do prefer the non creamy version if I’m going to have it at all. I’d think freezing it might be good; something about it being ice cold might be nice. I know alot of people enjoy it over ice cream?

There’s got to be a use for it somehow. Either in baking, or recycled into another drink.
