CHEESECAKE AL LIMONCELLO
I had a almost full bottle of Limoncello in my refrigerator and I wanted to use some of it up. I love cheesecake so while searching the web I found this one on recipegoldmine.com. Very good! Lemoncello is an italian lemon liqueur.

LORRAINE'S LUSCIOUS AND LOVELY LIMONCELLO
My friend Lorraine B gave me this wonderful recipe when I was looking for an interesting hostess gift. One of the best things about this recipe is that it only takes one week to infuse, as opposed to up to a month that I've seen in other recipes. I actually made a quadruple recipe and got 6 bottles to give as gifts (I kept one for myself, of course!). At last night's preliminary tasting (2 hours after bottling) I can tell you that this is a very refreshing tipple! I'm also going to try this with oranges this winter.

Steps:
- Wash the lemons, using soap, rinse well.
- Peel the lemons. I used my Microplane Zester and got lovely lemon zest, but you can also use a potato peeler. Make sure not to get any of the bitter white pith.
- Place the peel into a bowl and cover with the vodka. I used a large Tupperware bowl with a cover.
- Let the lemons infuse in the vodka for one week.
- Line a strainer with paper towels and strain the lemony vodka into a bowl that will hold more than twice its volume.
- Mix the sugar with the water in a pot and let it come to a boil.
- Boil for 2 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.
- Let cool.
- Add the sugar syrup to the lemon vodka and mix.
- Place in your favorite bottle.
- Keep the Limoncello in the freezer (it won't freeze).

LIMONCELLO
I'm going on a Food Network frenzy! This recipe comes from Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello. It looked so refreshing when he made it! He says You can make this with any citrus. The key is using the best and freshest citrus possible. Fruit that has been in storage a long time gives a muddy taste to the drink. Obviously, prep time does not include the 4 weeks standing time!

LIMONCELLO (LEMONCELLO, LIMONCELLA)
Limoncello, Sicily's signature liqueur, is easy to make at home. Perfect for those hot summer days... a cool explosion of the senses. This is the best Limoncello recipe I have come across, I think the secret that makes this one stand apart is the addition of the zest from one lime. Please use organic lemons and limes for this recipe. If they are not organic soak them in water for 1/2 an hour or so before zesting. Also it has been pointed out that it is best to use under-ripe fruit. Once made... there are so many uses; spiking lemonade, flavoring cocktails and splashing onto ice cream, poundcake or fresh fruit. You can substitute the peel of 15 limes for the lemon peel. Total time: 30 minutes, plus at least 4 weeks infusing time

Steps:
- Remove yellow part of lemon peel either with micro-plane or sharp peeler. If any pith remains on the back of a strip of peel, scrape it off.
- Place peels in a large jar with screw-top lid or sealed with clamps and cover with one bottle of vodka.
- Leave mixture to mellow for 2 weeks in a dark place.
- After mixture sets, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature (This is very important- if the sugar syrup is still warm the limoncello will result cloudy instead of limpid).
- Using a coffee filter or fine sieve, strain the vodka from the peels and mix it with the remaining bottle of vodka and the syrup. Put the liqueur in bottles, seal tightly (cork or screw-top lid) and let the components marry, in a dark place, for at least 10 days before using.
- For drinking straight, store the Limoncello in the freezer.
