I’m not fortunate enough to have a lemon tree like this in my yard, and as lemons, like everything else, are getting pricey these days, I buy them a bag at a time from Costco. I use them in baking and in making salad dressings, but still, I can’t seem to use them up fast enough before one of them starts to get moldy and the others follow suit soon after.

So I thought I would try something I had heard a friend tell me about. I cut the lemons in half and used a lemon reamer to get the juice out of them. I poured the juice into an ice cube tray and froze the lemon juice. Now when I need a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, I just take out one cube from the tray and save myself the trouble of juicing the lemon or worrying about whether it has gone moldy.

Have you ever tried it? Did you run into any problems? Seems to me to be a good way to save the lemon juice before it goes bad. I think I’ve done this before, many years ago, but I haven’t tried it in a while. I’m pretty sure it will work though.
