Pioneer Woman at Heart

I highly prefer freshly squeezed lemon juice in my homemade remedies etc.  To prepare for winter here is what I do to preserve real lemon juice. I do not have a juicer, which now I'm wondering if I should buy one. I used my hand lemon squeezer, but either will work to juice fresh, organic lemons. Pour juice into a clean, empty ice cube tray and freeze until solid.  Each cube (in my tray) holds 1-1/2 Tbsp. of lemon juice. Remove cubes and place in a freezer container or freezer bag, label and place back into your freezer. There you have it - real lemon juice on hand all the time. ...and of course I didn't waste the zest.  It went into the freezer as well, as these were organic lemons. I use freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice in my homemade ginger-ale, so I froze lime juice too. My goal has always been to purchase a Meyer lemon tree and grow my own, but that'll only happen when I have an extra $50.00.  That is how much they cost here. ...
