There is a new recipe on the blog and I can only be happy about it.
The recipe of limoncello, a typical liqueur made with lemons and alcohol, is by my grandmother, my guru in terms of cooking and a source of inspiration, who continues to give me her precious recipes with pride.
The secret for preparing a good limoncello are lemons, choose untreated and possibly organic.
I leave you with the recipe for the thermomix limoncello.

Valid for: Thermomix TM6 / TM5 / TM31
Ingredients
- 4 lemons
- 500 ml alcohol 95°
- 700 ml water
- 300 gr sugar
Instructions
Wash the lemons and dry them well. Peel them with the help of a potato peeler, taking care of removing only the peel without removing the white part.
Put the skins obtained in a container together with the alcohol and leave to macerate for 48 hours in a cool and dark place.
After the time put the water and sugar in the jug, cook: 30 min. 100° speed. 2 and let it cool completely.
Then add the alcohol filtered from the lemon peels and mix: 1 min. speed. 4.
Bottle and store the freezer.
Remove the limoncello from the freezer a few minutes before serving… Enjoy your meal!
My advice
I did not throw away the peels left after filtering them out of alcohol, I made them dry well and mince in the jug for a few seconds at speed. Turbo, then placed in a container and stored in the freezer.
It is an excellent anti-waste solution for flavoring sweets and creams and having it ready for use.
Hello. When cooking the sugar and water, do you leave the cap in on the lid or do allow the water to evaporate?
