Actually I had a lot of citrus left over from Christmas. I had planned to use them in drinks but I think I had a few too many - citrus fruits, not drinks (I had a few too many drinks too). One started to go mouldy and I hate seeing good food go to waste to I decided to make lemon squash (not with the mouldy one - I composted that).
Once again I am using a recipe from the River Cottage Preserves Book - Pam Corbin is a genius - I hate to bang on about it but it is an exceptional book. Here is an online recipe - it isn't the same but it looks pretty good too.
Some friends got us this lovely wooden juicer, along with some lemons and bucks fizz to treat our Christmas day hangover (Christmas Eve is usually a big one).
They didn't know, but I had asked for an old fashioned glass juicer on my Christmas wish list - I'm so glad I got this instead - it's much less fiddly. I whizzed through 6 lemons and 4 oranges in no time at all and I got so much juice out of the fruit! I just tipped the whole lot through a sieve at the very end of the process to catch the pips.
The yield was pretty good - maybe 1.5 litres?
The taste... THE TASTE. FRESH, SWEET AND CAPITAL-INDUCING-LY YUMMY.
