I use a lot of lemon juice in cooking, i do squeeze some and freeze the juice, but not a lot of it as we get lemons most of the year here. When I have a real glut, I make lemon curd and preserved lemons, and lots and lots of ginger cordial, which freezes really well. I also share the produce with friends, who are so generous with sharing the produce from their fruit trees.Jenny54https://www.blogger.com/profile/10474847362605942267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-23002485615043473312015-04-01T07:41:54.877+10:002015-04-01T07:41:54.877+10:00I just adore having an abundance of lemons, but la...I just adore having an abundance of lemons, but lately they have been few and far between.
