Limoncello Cream
The area of Naples and the Amalfi coast in Italy is known for its lemon trees and the liquor Limoncello and Crema di Limoncello. My husband's cousin from Naples gave me her family recipe for the Crema di Limoncello when we visited family in Naples in May 1998. This is a delicious frozen liquor drink, which is wonderful to sip on a hot summer's day, or any day.
Also, further down is a recipe for Limoncello. You can purchase this liquor throughout Naples and the Amalfi coast. The glass bottles are beautifully decorated and make for a nice souvenir. Enjoy!
Crema di Limoncello
Zest of 8 Lemons
1 liter of grain alcohol
3-1/2 cups of sugar
2 liters milk
A large container
Wash and dry lemons. Zest the lemons, making sure to remove the pith. Add the zest to a large container and add the vodka. Store the bottle at room temperature for 1 week.
In a large pot, combine the sugar and milk. Bring it almost to a boil, making sure the sugar has dissolved.
Let this mixture cool completely.
As you add the vodka mixture, use a strainer to catch the zest. Pour the completed mixture into bottles.
Store the bottle in freezer. Serve chilled.

After making the above recipe, I tweaked it a little. Here's my version. It's delicious!
1 Liter grain alcohol
7 Lemons, washed and dried
3 Cups sugar
1 quart plus 20 oz. half & half cream
Zest the lemons and place in a large container with the alcohol. Let sit for 2 weeks.
In a large pot, add the sugar and cream. Heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let this mixture cool completely. Add the lemon/alcohol mixture into the pot using a strainer (sitting on top of a large pot) to catch the zest. Pour mixture into 2 bottles.
Store in freezer. Serve chilled.
