Watkins Extract of Lemon.
Amazing what one finds when cleaning out my late dads cupboards. Watkins Extract of Lemon, must be 30 years old or more. I discovered this can still be bought. Was amused at the Alcohol content at 85% which still stands today.

That was powerful extract!
ReplyDeleteOne wouldn't need much to use in cooking I expect.
DeleteThe extract of lemon is probably still good with all that alcohol content to preserve it.
ReplyDeleteI guess it would be ok, but didn't fancy using it Rosemary :)
Deletethat's old isn't it? my mother used to buy their products from a door to door salesman when i was a kid. their products were very good apparently and i didn't know that they were still available.
ReplyDeleteVery old F..I suppose maybe that's where my mother bought it from, a door to door salesman.
DeleteI am not sure if they sell it still but I do know their vanilla is a lot of alcohol:) Take care my friend. HUG G
ReplyDeleteReally with the vanilla.
DeleteYes, I do believe you can still buy their products from the website. ..
Amazing discovery but definitely the product is edible. Sometimes I use extract of lemon in my cuisine but more often fresh lemons.
ReplyDeleteFresh lemons in cooking, lovely..
Deletefirst I've seen something like that
ReplyDeleteI expect many men haven't seen Watkins products :)
DeleteI remember when my mother used to by Watkins products, especially one call "Pain Oil". I have no idea what was in it, but it burned like crazy when applied. I have seen some of the Watkins products still at fairs, etc. The vanilla was always great. My first visit to your site, but I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of 'Pain Oil' yet..will look at Watkins website and see if it's still available, be interesting to read what it's for.
DeleteThanks for visiting, be lovely to have you visit again.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWell, with that amount of alcohol, we can think of no good reason not to use it......in positively everything! Surely, Lemon Drizzle Cake will take on an entirely new meaning with this addition?!
We are ashamed to say that we have almost fainted ourselves when clearing out cupboards and finding sell by dates in the previous decade!
Sound lovely Lemon Drizzle Cake :)
DeleteI am bound to find more old things as I clean out my late parents house.
Not good for me.
