New recipes!!!!

I haven't posted any recipes in a while, but I have been collecting them.  Here are a few I wanted to share. 

Lemon Vinegar
35 oz white vinegar
2 lemons
4 bay leaves

Pour vinegar into a stainless steel pan.  Wash lemons and peel rind from them.  Add peeel to pan with bay leaves and boil for five minutes.  Cover and allow to go cold.  Bottle with peel and leaves.  Leave for 4 weeks.  Vinegar can then be strained and bottled or used as is.

I haven't used this yet, 'cause it has to sit for 4 weeks.  But I think it is going to be great for salad dressing and marinades!
