Lisbon Lemon with Honey

FE-LISBON NAVIDAD We were planning to keep these LISBON LEMONS for oruselves, to make Lemon Curd for the MeRuRi Christmas Trifecta — Lisbon Lemon Curd, No Lable Strawberry Jam and Chewy Ube Jam. However hindi pa tapos yung kitchen, and the farmer assures us that there’s enough Lisbon Lemons on his trees come November. We’re happy to let these Lisbon Lemons go, go create wonderful. Let me be the first to wish you a Feliz Navidad.
Back read the story:
RARE LEMONS GROWN BY AN EX-HELICOPTER PILOT. So what we have here are LISBON LEMONS. We have a small stock arriving. We shall be bring them to Manila this weekend. Only one farmer grows them and we are happy take most of his harvest. This is not your ordinary chemically-laden, China import lemon. This is an old-fashioned, all-natural lemon that packs a sharp tartness, the way a real lemon would. If your grandmother had a green thumb like mine, you would know these Lisbon lemons from your childhood. If you have never seen or tasted lemons like these, you will like it. Makes an extraordinarily refreshing lemonade. We wee shocked to see on Lazada 10 seeds—seeds, not lemon fruit or lemon trees— selling for P1,500. You can have these lemons for __ , get 3.5 kilos, enjoy the juice and plant the seeds afterwards. A tasty, resistance-boosting drink in a time that absolutely no one in the family must not get sick, this is exactly what we need. A stock of lemons three years from now.

The farmer that grew these lemons is also a rare one. He graduated from the PMA in 1978 and served as an officer and helicopter pilot in the Philippine Air Force. Upon retirement, he planted these Lisbon lemons sourced from a German family living in Surigao. Amazing individual, isn’t he? Read about his lemons in his own words. “Chinese lemons are picked at a uniform size to fit a box containing 135 fruits at 15kg they aren’t matured enough as evidenced by it’s thick peel . They are immersed in degreening chemical in a very low temperature. So halos Wala ka nang ma squeeze na juice. Ang Pinoy consumer judgemental nlang sa quality ng skin. Compared sa lemon na grown dito sila ay mas ljuicy at masarap kasi seedless at thin skinned kung ibabad mo sa glass of water hindi pumapait until maubos. At guaranteed na poison free kasi di ginamitan ng pesticides and fungicide.”
