TIP OF THE WEEK

Left over lemon:

You have a recipe that asks some lemon juice and peel, but you don’t know what to do with the rest of it.

You hate to throw it out, and it won’t keep for long in the refrigerator, what do you do?

Simply drop the unused portions of lemon into a zip lock bag, write on the date, and place it in the freezer.

The next time that your lemon recipe asks for lemon, pull out the frozen pieces and defrost as much as needed for use.

Lemon should store in the freezer for no more than 6 months.
