I just love using citrus fruit in my recipes .There is something very clean and fresh about them.I would just love to have a lemon tree with lemons  on my allotment or in my garden and have now one which is 2 years old without any lemons.Next year I hope to have succeeded .I have just brought mine indoors for the winter and hopefully it will survive and flourish..Meanwhile more cooking

What can you do with windfalls?

Somebody gave me a huge bag of windfall apples…I never waste anything if it can be helped .Apples and pears must be the most versatile fruit known and so delicious.It is thought that there are over 2000 different types of English apple but only about 5 are ever sold  in the supermarkets…What a waste!! Seek out your local apples and try a few of these recipes.
