Check out my laden lemon tree.
We use a brick to keep it upright. Maybe I need to master the art of pruning the tree.
Looking forward to making lots of lemon puddings, lemon pancakes and lemon tarts.
This is Mums lemon pudding recipe. My Dad won't eat them as Mum has cooked it too may times. I still love it.
On My Mind: A Friday home photo initiative of Down To Earth. Rhonda’s blog is worth a follow, it’s very helpful for homemakers in training such as myself.

Hmm, only recipe in my book is for Sour Pickled Lemons and I've never made it. I have made Lemon Cheese (lemon butter) very successfully though. IF there's any left after the family has eaten what they want it makes a nice filling for lemon cheese tarts and is a good replacement for cream in a 2 layer sponge or butter cake.
I've never made pickled lemons, but what about salt preserved ones?
We have pickled limes, beautiful with Indian food, I'd say it would be same/similar for lemons. The recipe we used is at:

We're waiting for our first lemon tree to get loads of fruit to do a batch ourselves. Good luck!
you are RICH!! I am a huge fan of lemons...always kills me to visit friends in Florida and see their neighbors' trees laden with lemons never picked!

I've never heard of Pickled Lemons... I'll be interested in seeing what people come up with in the recipe department and I will look through my Preserving books for you as well.
Once when i was a kid I visited a lady's house that had a lemon tree sitting in a bay window. No lemons but very exotic for Kentucky! You are a lucky lucky lady.
I FOUND A recipe!

I posted another comment over at Down to Earth but then I got to thinking you may not see it so I popped back over to leave you the link here.
Hi, what a great tree. It's great to be able to grow citrus fruit !!
The pudding looks delicious.
Have a great weekend.
Hi Rowena,
Love the brick! Necessity is the master of all invention. Try this for pickled lemons, it's a turkish recipe;
6 lemons, quartered lengthways, but not all the way through.
Juice of 1 lemon.
300g coarse salt.
1 bay leaf.
1 red chilli.
1 litre boiling water.
Method:
Rub each lemon with salt and pack closely in a jar.
Pour lemon juice over lemons in the jar.
Sprinkle remaining salt over and top with boiling water to cover the jar.
Add bay leaf and chilli.
Seal jar tightly.
Keep in a warm place for three to four weeks.
On longer storage, a white film may appear on top of the liquid. Simply scoop out lemons and rinse.
My daughter rubs lemon onto her face to bleach freckles! It seems to work.
