I often make recipes that call for lemon juice, but lemons are something most people don't always have around. Your choices then are to run to the store...again....or keep bottled "lemon juice" in your house.
Typical bottled "100% lemon juice" includes several things besides lemon juice; such as the preservatives Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite and Sodium Sulfite. I am not sure what these exactly are, but as a rule I try not to eat a lot of things my kids can't pronounce. To maintain convenience, I started making my own lemon cubes.
I own a small inexpensive electric citrus juicer
This is the same juicer I have had for many many years and I love it!

You use one lemon cube per recipe?
ReplyDeleteFor ex. If a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of lemon juice - I'll pull out enough cubes from the freezer to make a 1/2 cup. You can defrost them just enough in a bowl in the the microwave to turn them back to liquid form stir and measure it out for the recipe.
