  • Greek Lemon Meatball Soup

    Meatballs:
    • 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
    • ¾ cup breadcrumbs or almond flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • Lemon Soup
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 carrots diced
    • 2 celery stocks diced
    • 1 yellow onion diced
    • 3 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 large zucchini diced
    • ½ cup uncooked orzo or 1 cup cauliflower rice
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
    • 8 cups chicken broth
    • 3 large egg yolks
    • 6 tablespoons of Renegade Lemonade

    • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until lightly golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Set the meatballs aside.
    • Add the remaining 1tablesppons oil to the pot along with carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
    • Stir in the zucchini and cauliflower rice (but not the orzo if using, as this will go in later as it cooks faster), dill, parsley, and oregano. Add the chicken broth and return the meatballs to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. If using orzo, add to the soup and continue simmering until the orzo is al dente, 7 to 9 minutes.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Remove 1 cup of hot broth in a spouted measuring cup and slowly pour the hot broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, into to egg yolks while whisking to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Whisk the mixture and Renegade Lemonade into the soup pot.

    Desserts

    Renegade Lemonade Lemon Bars

    • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 ¾ cups sugar, divided
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 ¼ cups flour, divided
    • 4 eggs
    • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 6 tablespoons Renegade Lemonade
    • Zest from 1 lemon
    • Powdered sugar for serving

    • Preheat oven to 325 F
    • In a large bowl, add 8 tablespoons of melted butter, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix well until combined. Add 2 cups flour and stir until everything comes together and you have a soft dough. Press dough into a buttered or parchment-lined 9x9 pan in a single layer.
    • Bake for 16 minutes or until the edges start to turn light brown. As soon as you take the pan out of the oven, use a fork to poke holes all over the crust (but don’t go all the way through to the bottom of the pan).
    • While the crust bakes, make the filling by whisking together 4 eggs, 6 tablespoons lemon juice, 6 tablespoons Renegade Lemonade and lemon zest (if using). Sift in 1 ½ cups sugar and ¼ cup flour and mix to combine.
    • Pour filling over warm crust. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the center is set. The pan might still be a little jiggly but use the center as a guide.
    • Let the bars cool completely before serving. Dust a little powdered sugar on top if desired.
    • Store leftover Renegade Lemonade Bars in the fridge for 5-7 days. They can also be frozen easily- place cut bars on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour. Individually wrap each frozen bar in plastic wrap or parchment paper and then store them all in a large bag or container.

    Lemon Creme Brûlée

    • ½ cup lemon juice
    • ¾ cup self-rising flour

    • Place egg whites in a separate large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the lemon wine mixture until very well combined. Pour into the prepared dish, then carefully pour enough boiling water into the roasting tray to come halfway up the side of the baking dish.
    • Bake for 40-45 minutes until just set and golden. Very carefully remove the dish from roasting tray and immediately sprinkle the top evenly with extra sugar. Use a kitchen blowtorch to melt and caramelize the top to form a Brule crust.
    • Carefully bring pudding straight to the table, top with ice cream, and serve with extra scoops alongside.

    Lemon Meringue Pie

    Pie filling:
    • 2 Meyer lemons, zested and juiced
    • 4 tablespoons of Renegade Lemonade
    • 4 eggs
    • 5 egg yolks
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
    • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

    • 6 egg whites, room temperature
    • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
    • ¾ cup castor or superfine sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Roll out your dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place in pan, forming the crust edge as desired.

Remove the beans and parchment paper, turn the heat down to 350, and continue baking until the pie crust is golden about 10 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool, leaving the oven on.
    For the pie filling:
    • Grate the zest from the lemons into a small bowl. Strain in the lemon juice ensuring no seeds are present, then press the fruit to squeeze out the lemon pulp
    • In a heavy medium saucepan, beat the eggs, the egg yolks, and the sugar until combined. Stir in the lemon juice, Renegade Lemonade, zest, and pulp, 6 tablespoons of butter, and sea salt.
    • Cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. It should coat a spoon, and not be runny. Remove from heat and press through a mesh sleeve to remove any chunks. Allow to stand five minutes, then whisk until smooth, and set aside to cool slightly.
    • Spread the prepared filling in the pie crust shell, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is just set. Remove the pie and increase the oven heat to 375 degrees again.
    Make the Meringue:
    • Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, and continue whipping until soft, rounded peaks form. Beat in the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
    To finish:
    • Spread/ pipe in the meringue over the filling, making sure it meets the edges of the crust to create a nice seat. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned on the top.
    • Allow to cool completely, from one to two hours, but do not refrigerate

    • ¾ cups granulated sugar
    • 1 zest of 1 lemon
    • 1 egg at room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
    (For lemon glaze)
    • ¾ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon Renegade Lemonade

    • Let the lemon blueberry cookies rest for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the parchment and let them cool on a cooling rack. The cookies will further set as they cool.
    (For lemon glaze)v • Mix the Renegade Lemonade and powdered sugar together. The glaze should not be too runny or too thick, so adjust the consistency as necessary by either adding more powdered sugar or more juice.
    • Apply the glaze on top of the lemon blueberry cookies with the help of a piping bag or spoon. Then sprinkle the cookies with some lemon zest and freeze-dried blueberries.
    • Store the cookies at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
