wonderful recipe, agree about unwaxed lemons. Make more for seconds if required!

Buy unwaxed lemons instead John! They're available at all supermarkets. Alternatively, give your waxed lemons a scrub with a vegetable brush to remove the wax.

Sounds great for a dinner party but i find it so difficult to get zest from lemons coated with wax!! any suggestions?

I make this very often and each time it's fantastic, and soooo easy and quick to make, waiting for it to chill is the hard bit!

I tried this recipe and it is really nice, the second time i tried it with oranges instead of lemons (i did add 2 teaspoons of orange extract as well to the ingredients) Really nice option....
