This is how I learned about Fermented Lemon Ginger Honey. Last year in January, I got sick. Regina, a friend from church, sent me some of this concoction. It was so soothing to my scratchy throat, cough, and cold symptoms! I couldn’t wait to make some of my own and I have been making it for a year now. I try to always keep some on hand.
While in Malawi I made some for our host who was also suffering the same symptoms. He also found relief.

Ingredients:
organic lemons, fresh ginger and unfiltered honey.
Start by adding some honey to the bottom of the pint jar, then layer lemon slices, ginger, and more honey. Repeat until it is full. I seal the top with the honey. It looks really thick as you make it, but soon it will be juicy. I check it and push down the lemons each day or flip the jar over a couple of times. Sometimes I cover the top with honey if needed. I let it ferment for two weeks. It is soothing by the spoonful or in hot tea.
It really is amazing.
The Quilt Story. The photo of the beautiful quilt is just to spread a little homemade happiness today. This was made from scavenged pieces of fabric from old clothes. It was made many years ago by my husband’s grandmother. She passed away in 1982. I was told she made enough of these quilts that her children, grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren were able to have one of these handmade treasures.
Great memories and treasures get passed down!
You are a treasured part of my memories.
