Our Ponderosa Lemon Tree has been growing in the same spot since 1900 and was brought to Logee's by train from Philadelphia, then by horse and buggy from the train station. It has been producing lemons reliably for over one hundred years and has given us thousands of cuttings.
We used the lemons from this tree for our Ponderosa Lemonade and for our Ponderosa Lemon Bread.
Our recipe has been tweaked for the past five years and now we have the perfect combination of sour and sweet. We served complimentary Lemonade Friday night at our Book Launch Party and all Weekend at our Open House.
She made six loaves. One of her secrets is in the Glaze. Take some fresh squeezed lemon and sugar mixture and spoon it over the warm loaves while they are still in the pan. Do not Remove from the pan until the glaze has been absorbed. This makes for a wonderfully moist and fresh lemon tasty tea loaf.
Her recipe is featured in our book on page 33. If you would like the recipe, visit our website where it is posted.
My sister, Gwendolyn Carbone, is serving other beverages for us too.
She also transformed our lunch room into a warm and welcome event.
She is the owner of The Blue Door Emporium, which features collectibles and antiques.
There's always some comic relief with our son, Elijah.
Tiffany takes a break from the greenhouse and helps Amy make more Lemonade for the weekend. They made over 10 gallons of lemonade.
More Ponderosa Lemonade.

If you go to Logee's retail store now through the end of the year, we sell the Ponderosa Lemons from the tree. They are $5 each, but when you walk into a holiday party with a lemon that size, heads turn and conversations begin. Or better yet, a lemon this size will easily make two loaves of bread, then go to the party bearing gifts.
