PEPPERMINT LEMON
I fondly remember my Grandmother giving us lemons with peppermint sticks in them for a treat. We would sit out on the porch and suck on those all afternoon. They were sooooo good! A few years ago, my sister was in charge of the concessions at her daughter's basketball games. She bought several pounds of lemons and peppermint...

Steps:
- 1. It is very important you use the soft peppermint sticks, not the hard "candy cane" variety! I usually get "Bob's Old Fashioned Peppermint" sticks at Walmart.
- 2. Wash whole lemons in warm water. Roll lemon back and forth on clean counter to increase juice.
- 3. On upper end of lemon, cut a small hole in rind just big enough to push a peppermint stick into.
- 4. Hold lemon firmly in both hands and gently squeeze while sucking on the end of the peppermint stick. It may take a few strong sucks but soon the lemon juice will come up through the peppermint (like a straw). The perfect lemonade!
- 5. The peppermint may dissolve before you get all the juice out of the lemon, but just push another piece of peppermint down inside and continue to enjoy!

[email protected]I've tried this recipe twice now, and both times it's been a disaster. The first time, the dessert curdled. The second time, it came out of the oven burnt.
