Don't Throw That Lemon Out!

Citrus costs have skyrocketed.  At Lula's for Lunch...and More! Catering we use alot of citrus.  It's a major flavoring agent and provides depth and background to many dishes.  It's not cheap, though, so we save wherever and whenever we can.  Buying bags of lemons or limes instead of the one you need at a time can save well over 50% and you don't have to waste a drop (or a curl).You can zest your citrus and freeze it, and after it's zested, you can squeeze all of the juice out into a bowl (and depending on what method you're using you won't even have any seeds to contend with!).  Keep a plastic ice tray for just such occasions and you will always have a measured supply of citrus on hand.  Each "cube" spot holds the juice of approximately one lemon or lime.  Fill your tray, freeze it, and pop them out into a baggie to keep in your freezer for easy, measured access.If you want to know the best way to get maximum juice out of your citrus, you can search "lemon, citrus, or juice" at blog.lulasforlunch.com and a previous "how-to" will pop up!!  Now SMILE, sourpus!!  - Lula
