Sorrento Lemon Preserves

Organic Sorrento Lemons aka Santa Teresa lemons are the ones they use to make Limoncello because the rind is so aromatic. We love them for preserves because in addition to the juice having an intense lemon flavor the rinds have no bitterness.  As several of our clients have told us, it's like eating sunshine. 
 
This preserve pairs well with all kinds of herbs. If you like, you can stir in some beautiful dried blue lavendar, fresh tarragon or chervil, once the jar is open. You can also stir in some pistachios or pine nuts for a bit of crunch. We don't add these items to the preserves because we'd rather have you add what you like, or just eat it plain. 
 
Try spreading a little whole milk ricotta on toast, topped with some lemon preserve, or sandwiching them between shortbread cookies.
