You might not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes limoncello but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat limoncello or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories a day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have professional support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Limoncello (Lemon Liqueur

Source: Rosamaria Restiani – The Arizona Republic, February 12, 2003

Keep a bottle in the freezer for friends and dinner guests. Limoncello in small bottles or Mason jars also makes a good Easter or Passover gift.

15 fresh, thick-skinned lemons (large are preferred)
    plus a few lemon leaves
1 (4-quart) Mason jar or similar size jug
1/2 gallon 100-proof vodka
5 cups bottled spring water
3 to 5 cups granulated sugar

Scrub the lemons and leaves in warm, soapy water. Pat them dry and use a vegetable peeler or zesting tool to remove the yellow zest from each lemon, being careful to separate the white pith from the zest. (Pith will make the limoncello taste bitter.)

Place all the zest in the Mason jar, along with a few lemon leaves.

Add the vodka and seal the jar. Allow the jar to rest for 20 days in a cool, dark place, shaking it every 2 days to move the ingredients.

After 20 days, open the jar.

In a pan over medium heat, combine the spring water with 3 to 5 cups of sugar. The amount depends on your personal taste. If you like sweet liqueurs, use 5 cups. If you like them less sweet, 3 or 4 will be adequate. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool, then pour it into the vodka jar. Allow the jar to rest for another 20 days in a cool, dark place, shaking it every 2 days to mix the ingredients. It is normal for the limoncello to take on a somewhat cloudy appearance.

After 20 days, slowly pour the mixture into a very large bowl, using a cheesecloth to strain the lemon zest and leaves. Discard the zest and leaves, and transfer the limoncello back into the jar or into several smaller bottles. Seal all the containers tightly.

While the limoncello does not need to be stored in the refrigerator, it is best to chill it before drinking. Since the mixture is about 50-proof, placing it in the freezer will not cause it to solidify.
