How big is a plastic lemon?

Real lemon juice ......Or I could use the bottled stuff.

We get bottles of "lemon juice" at the supermarket, they hold about 250 ml / 8 fl oz

I know it's 1 pint milk (full cream) and lemon juice.............but not how much

Morning Scozzie
Jif is plastic lemon containing concentrated lemon juice, but we also get it in bottles.
I like my cream cheese spread on bread, with boiled ham on top. Or, if making a ham salad, I spread the slice of ham with the cream cheese and roll it up. I like a few grapes and strawberries with my salad.

PS. Meant to say, I would think 1/2 a Jif is about 1 1/2 tablespoonsful

LOLOL at Julia using her knee-highs to strain comfrey etc. :-D

Really glad you don't wear them again Julia. I grow comfrey and put it in a plastic dustbin with water and leave for 3 weeks - the smell is disgusting.

I make rather a nice paté with Philly, Boursin, smoked mackerel, lemon juice and s n p all mashed up. Very tasty.

Morning Wend, by gum, your up with the lark. I will try that little recipe. I like Smoked Mackeral, but in small doses. Mixed up with the cheeses and with Lemon Juice would suit me. I think I would eat it with a little Mason Plas (sp), ans slightly warmed toast as I would a meat pate. Thanks for the idea.

The chocolate philly is nice on digestive biscuits - makes cheese and biscuits after dinner a whole new experience lol :-D

A little tip for anybody who might be buying cream cheese in Aldi to make a cheesecake.

Do be careful to look at the label because they do stack them all together on the shelf. I have heard tell hem,hem, of somebody getting home with three packets and one was garlic flavoured.

Not the optimum ingredient for a strawberry cheesecake.

1/2 Tablespoon

You mean you can buy a plastic lemon holding 1 Tablespoon juice?

Must be a very small lemon :-D

No Scozzie. I typed one and a half, not half. The plastic Lemons are the size of a real lLemon, but contain concentrated juice.
Wish they had fraction keys on this keyboard. Would make life simpler

PS I think the plastic Jif Lemon probably contains about three tablespoons of juice.

1 pint full cream milk
1 + 1/2 Tablespoon concentrated lemon juice (Jif)

strain through a (clean!) stocking.......... for more flavour, use an old sock

I've never seen concentrated lemon juice lol

Usually I just pick a lemon off the tree

:-D

Scozzie, you got it. We are not fortunate to be able to have lemon trees outside here. It's too damned cold.

Julia, Wend isn't up 'with' the lark she's up 'for' a lark :-D

She also has a dripping lemon tree and she's in the UK :-S

Morning Island - Glad to see you about for today.
Dripping lemon tree, blimey she must have a heated conservatory. LOLOL

Julia in Derbyshire

neighbour has a lemon tree, keeps everyone supplied.

We have a banana tree and a pawpaw........ and don't get any fruit, because the possums, birds and fruitbats eat them :-D We managed to pick ONE pineapple, too prickly for the bats & possums lol

Morning Julia and Scozzie

We have a lava tree. :-D

Is it a lamp, Island. LOLOL

Julia in Derbyshire

Love the Phillie too ,Spread inside a butterfly chicken breast ,and then the breast wrapped in bacon [streaky] slices and laid on a nice leaf salad ,but Chocolate ? yuk no thanks . :-S, Fred :-D

We don't need a lamp 'cos we have the leccy in the big bad city :-D

Fred, what on earth is a butterfly chicken? :-S Is it fed on nectar? :-0

Lidl do a cheaper version of Jif.

Island, Badger meant a butterflied chicken breast. which means cut in half lengways, and opened out. You then put in the creamcheese, re assamble together, wrap it in the streeky bacon, and cook.

Speaks later

Julia in Derbyshire

i also like, bacon mushrooms and onions, fried of, then a big dollop of philie, till it melts, then add it to pasta yum yum x
