What to do with Lemons (Zesting, Juicing, Freezing)
Never let your lemons go to waste again! Save time and money by zesting, freezing and juicing your lemons.
Ingredients
- 10 large lemons
Instructions
Freezing Lemon Slices:
- If you wish to freeze lemon slices: rinse, pat dry and slice whole lemons into rings. Arrange them on a parchment or plastic wrap-lined baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the slices to a freezer safe bag and freeze up to 3 months.
Freezing Lemon Zest:
- Before juicing remaining lemons, zest them. Be sure to remove only Zest (yellow outer skin) and not the bitter white pith beneath. Transfer zest to a freezer safe container or a mason jar with lid (loosely packed). Scoop it out and use in any recipe that calls for lemon zest.
To Make Lemon Juice:
- Cut zested lemons in half and use a lemon juicer to squeeze out the juice. Store fresh juice in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
To Freeze Lemon Juice:
- Pour lemon juice into an ice tray and freeze. Once frozen, ice cubes can be transferred to freezer safe ziploc bag and stored in the freezer up to 3 months.
