Well, since you can BUY a bottle of frozen lemon juice, I'd say it's perfectly fine to squeeze some lemons and freeze the juice.

Here's the freezing information from the National Center for Home Food Preservation: http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/freeze/citrus.html

My sister sent fresh citrus from Texas (she picks it fresh) and I have a pile of lemons I need to juice. You can also freeze the zest.

How to Freeze Lemon Zest

• Zest the lemon with a fine grater. Be sure to avoid the white pith beneath the peel, which tastes bitter.
• Place all of the zest in a freezer bag or container.
• Label each container with the amount and type of zest. Be sure to use a permanent marker so it doesn't rub off!
• Store lemon zest in the freezer for up to a year.
• There is no need to thaw frozen lemon zest. Just remove it from your freezer as needed and add it to your favorite recipes!

[Grainlady note: I like to place the zest in a small plastic snack-style storage bag in a thin layer for freezer storage. You can break off a chunk as-needed.]

I do that every year. Love the Meyer ones, too and Costco usually has bags of them very cheap this time of the year. If you have ice cube trays...that is a good way to freeze the juice, and it is about the size I need when needed. I am going to freeze one lemon, sliced thinly, this year just to see if it will work under the Salmon that we eat year round, but don't always have a lemon to slice and put under/on it.

PS....I do like to "just try it", and see if it satisfies me. When lemons are cheap, why not?

This doesn't answer your question, but you can buy a product called True Lemon:

True Lemon

Wow - thanks, everyone!

I do what Nanny does--squeeze and then put in ice cube trays. Then I store them in a freezer bag.

I just finished working on a pair of "Dolly Parton" lemons my sister sent (they were as large as a grapefruit, and each one had about 1/4-cup of seeds in them!!!), and they are now safely in the freezer.

When fresh lemons are expensive, I use True Lemon (also True Lime and True Orange) that graywings123 linked to. They are food storage must-haves.

Too Funny (if you think about it) "Dolly Parton Lemons"....Heehee1

Suzieq--electric juicers can be purchased for under $20, and they are wonderful. You can use them to make orange juice as well. Anyway, juice those lemons, put the juice in ice cube trays, and when frozen put them in whatever container or plastic bag you wish.

I love that idea, Nicole. Thanks.

I think I got the idea from the KT so since then I have a bag of frozen limes and lemons in my freezer that I thaw as needed. I also keep a bottle of Real Lemon juice on hand. America's Test Kitchen said it makes the best lemon curd and I use it in my water

Great ideas, everyone. Thanks again!

I also freeze squeezed lemon juice in an ice tray.

Yes the ice cube tray method is what I use too. I just bought a bag of Texas lemons that are huge and full of juice. I love to eat them with a little salt just like an orange. They are almost sweet especially the more yellow ones the greenish tinted ones are more like a regular lemon. My trees are meyer lemons. Also very good. I usually always have fresh lemons in the house I use a lot of lemon in cooking.

I had the best, unusual, Cole slaw last night at my neighbors home for dinner, we loved it and I want the recipe which I will gladly share, it was very citrus flavored not in the least sweet and just a tiny bit of mayo. The flavor was awesome. The cabbage was large shredded with parsley and green onions I could have made a meal of it.

Raven....that sounds like a good one! I'll look forward to your recipe post...
