50-50 squash

[forestdale]

Now, squash in this context is a drink, not a vegetable.

12 lemons
12 oranges
granulated sugar

Squeeze the juice from the fruit, strain through a course sieve to remove the seeds but not the chunky pieces of fruit. Measure the juice and for every 2 1/2 cups of juice add 1/2 cup of warm sugar. Stir until dissolved.
Pour into warm clean bottles to 5mmm from the top, seal with a ring and process in your canner as usual.

To serve:
Half a glass of this squash and add half a glass of soda water, mineral water or lemonade and ice cubes.

This sounds really good! I wish I had this recipe when Mom and Dad still had their big home with the lemon and orage trees!
