Freezing And Preserving Recipes
3 Ways to Freeze Fresh Lemons
![](admin/recipeuploads/1716976254.jpg)
You can freeze a steady supply of fresh lemon slices, lemon juice and lemon zest to use all year long!
Ingreadient
- Fresh Lemons
Direction
- To freeze lemon slices that you can drop into drinks, lay them out on a cookie sheet and set them in the freezer for a few hours. Once they’re solid, collect them into a zip-top storage bag, where they’ll stay frozen individually (and not clumped together into a yellow iceberg if you were to freeze all the slices together in the bag).
- Use a Microplane to quickly and finely grate the peel.
- The zest is stored in a glass jar in the freezer and one little pint jar lasts quite a long time. Whenever a recipe calls for that random teaspoon of zest, it’s easy to scoop out as needed.
- The rest of that zested lemon is juiced and poured into an ice cube tray.
- The frozen cubes then go into another zip-top bag to save space; I usually keep a few bags of lemon slices and lemon cubes in the freezer at all times.
- Each lemon cube (about a tablespoon’s worth) is the perfect serving size to brighten up dishes or drinks.
