Lemon Butter

It's a rainy afternoon in Melbourne today, a stark contrast to our divine days of late!

With a huge collection of lemons that need using, I decided to try my hand at lemon butter using this recipe.

It was very easy and very quick. Next time I would add a little less sugar and a little more lemon!
