Okay this is just me being stupid,
Cougr linked me to a web-site selling "Incendiary Lemons" t-shirts and for no damned reason it popped into my head that it would be funny to have live prop incendiary lemons, and then to wonder if one of those plastic bottles of lemon-juice could be fitted with one of the many dummy grenade fuses I had laying about.
And what do you know, it fits!
I'm actually surprised: I found plenty of images of real lemons with grenade fuses on them, plenty of practice-grenades pained lemon-yellow, but none using the silly plastic bottle. I need to make some sheets of labels for them, it'd be great to have a box of incendiary lemons; Cave would be proud!

Well, anything is possible if you have the time and desire. But the reality of it is that it would be sufficiently time consuming not to be worth it unless you have a great deal of need. Also, you'd want to *really* know what you're doing, since even a small mistake results in the grenade going off the instant you release the spoon (handle). That's what's referred to in technical terms as "bad".
"When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! 'I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?!' Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am?! I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
This. Just...THIS. All of it.
No, seriously, THIS...is awesome. If those dummy fuses, or something very similar (and equally harmless) were easy to obtain, you should totally make these. Or at the very least make an effort to contact Valve about some kind of novelty product license and then sell them to Think Geek.
