Home Made Limoncello Liqueur, Next Stage

This post has been keyworded under:
Home made Limoncello with syrup added

This has been a work in progress since the 24th November 2009. It doesn't take a lot of effort, it takes a bit of patience. I am on the home straight now, making the syrup. After making the syrup I realised the jar I had used, initially, wasn't going to have enough capacity for both syrup and vodka/lemon peel. I had to find another receptacle, a glass cookie jar was the only container suitable, I had to hand. I put in less of the syrup, than stated in the recipe, after a little tasting (it's tasting good!), I thought it was sweet enough. I'll now put it back in a cool dark place for another month, then I'll decant it into a bottle. Limoncello liqueur recipe 

Home made Limoncello

Anjie, I just started a batch. How long should I keep it before we drink it?

I started my Limoncello on the 24 November 2009, after going through all the stages we finally tasted it on the 20 February 2010 - so that was three months from start to finish. We are all agreed it tastes good, the waiting was worth it!

Ooh, it's looking good, I love Limoncello, I may have to try this too (once I hear how yours turns out!).

Having first tasted Limoncello in Antibes last January (09) I am intriged with the recipe and hope to make my own very soon.
best wishes

The recipe is so simple, Alison, you just need patience. I'm going to leave mine for a few more weeks then I will give my verdict on the resulting liqueur.
