directions
- Quarter lemons and place in single layer on cookie sheet. Place in freezer until frozen. Place in ziplock bag and remove as needed. Lemons can be frozen whole but they will be mushy when defrosted although the juice will be fine.
- You can also freeze lemon slices the same way.
- The juice can be frozen in ice cube trays for use layer as well as the zest.

Now just how neat is this, especially for those of us who use lemons quite a bit & sometimes have more than we can keep in good shape! I bought a bag just to see how well this works, & after 2 days, at least, they're just fine, so expect the rest to come through with flying colors as well! Thanks for a great recipe keeper!

I got great buys on lemons and limes. We zested them and froze the zest in flat zip bags. Them we squeezed all the juice and froze it in ice cube trays. But-- what to do with the left-over halves? We froze those too, and throw half a lime or lemon into broth when we make soup. (Fish out the citrus half before you serve the soup!)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
