We had to pluck all our lemons off the tree because a big freeze is coming our way. I now have more lemons than I know what to do with!
I'm am soliciting lemon ideas, please!!!
How lucky but I also feel your pain. I was gifted lemons last year and made lemon curd- basically lemon meringue pie insides ( https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/how-to-make-lemon-curd/ ) and then canned it in small jars. Good luck
@kali66 Every lemon in the sink got juiced and fridged/freezed. I do the Moroccan preserved lemon thing already, which is always awesome. I'm fishing for recipes for the rest of 'em. I give lots away, but I want to try to use some.....
We have the same problem, the weight of snow from our first snowfall in 5 years broke several branches and we have buckets of them. We cut them into segments and put them in the freezer for summer G&T's, and my wife makes limoncello. Her physiotherapist takes them to make lemon curd. She also does an excellent Cajun lemon shrimp dish, like this one http://mycookingspot.com/baked-lemon-shrimp/
It's nice that you managed to break them off the trees. You can store them somewhere. Let's hope that the temperature does not fall below + 4C. We used to bring lemons on ships in plain cardboard boxes. Temp. 4 to 8 C. Very little broke.
I keep my lemons in the fridge. a nice big one like yours costs 67 cents Canadian. a very foolish pricing as we don't have pennies anymore and so automatically 67 becomes 70 cents.
I really can't tell you how to keep them fresh. lots of backing and freezing. sharing them with friends and neighbours. sorry, I'm not much of help.
