Granny's Lemonade

Granny C_____ makes wonderful lemonade.
The recipe is below (I've yet to make it myself and am reliant upon receiving bottles whenever I go home).

5 large lemons
3 1/4 lb of sugar (makes about 2.5 ltrs)
3 pints of water
1 1/2 oz of citric acid

Boil sugar and water for 20 mins to make syrup. Slice lemons thinly, place in large bowl. Add citric acid to boiled syrup and pour immediately over sliced lemons.
Leave for 24 hours, squeeze by hand, strain and bottle.

If making half quantities, use 3 small lemons.

A large ice cream container, or tupperware, or small plastic bucket will do to soak lemons and syrup if you have not a bowl.

Chocolate Brownies...

I found the recipe for the brownies I used to make and foist on people when I was at college... posted here for easy reference....

I think that I reined back a little on the sugar as the recipe shows 300g which is slightly more than the usual 250g bag - otherwise you don't need to weigh anything as the measurements equate to 1 block of chocolate, one block of butter, one bag of sugar etc....

125g chocolate (dark is best)
250g butter
300g caster/granulated sugar
40g flour (or thereabouts - plain, to thicken).

Very complicated recipe -
1. Melt chocolate and butter (bain-marie, or microwave will do, although I prefer the former).
2. Stir in sugar.
3. Sir in flour.
4. Cook @ 180C for c.20-25 mins.

It will be very gooey - more gooey than cake-like. However, delicious (but would avoid giving to children with a tendency to be hyperactive....or, sadly these days, me)
