Easy Homemade Limoncello

Erik and Tracy’s Easy Homemade Limoncello

I first started making limoncello after my brother Erik and sister-in-law Tracy sent me a bottle they made using their own homegrown lemons. At first, I would just put a little splash in my Prosecco Blueberry Limoncello Punch, but I’m so thankful to Erick and Tracy because their recipe makes it so easy to make limoncello at home.

I have to thank my friend Luigi for this recipe. It was Luigi who turned me onto the idea of using tortellini in a pasta salad recipe instead of just noodles. He always brings this one when he visits us on the farm, and it never fails to impress the guests!
