Today was lemon harvest at Dragonfly Ranch. Our little tree on the kitchen patio produced 246.5 Meyer lemons.
Here’s Betsy and the basket she picked. Arlin’s basket is the one to the left.
Making sure every lemon is picked.
The summer kitchen is perfect for processing the lemons. The assembly line started with taking some of the zest before slicing; then the slicing; and then the juicing on the Ankersrum Assistent with the juicing attachment.
The juice is frozen in small portions for use in recipes or beverages. Here, Betsy fills a mini muffin tin with juice for individual ice chunks to add to water or other beverages when the summer temperatures call for a refreshing lemonade.
