Prep Genrl How can I preserve lemons?

[nomifyle]

I bought a bag of lemons. The were on sale at one store for 1.77 for a nice bag. I'd been to DG the day before and lemons were 75 cents each.

I don't really use lemons, so I'd like to preserve them for future use.

Ideas please.

Juice, and freeze the juice?

I was thinking about slicing them and freezing them, but I wonder how they would turn out dehydrated. Lemon peel has some uses.

Wish we had a lemon tree but this is north Louisiana and they do not do well.

You can the juice.
You can dehydrate as slices.
You can dry and powder it (recommend you dry the peel separately and remove the seeds first.
You can freeze the juice.
You can make citrus preserves of various types.

You can also preserve whole lemons.

We have a lemon tree and it produces and produces.....

We squeeze the lemons and put the juice into old water bottles then freeze.
They you should also put the peels into a zip lock bag and freeze..... we didn't and now realize that mistake...
