I see you like to share tips that generate clicks but are still useful! Lemons can be really annoying: You buy them online, use one in your tea, and after three days the rest look like little green balls of fluff in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you know this trick from professional chefs and thrifty homemakers, you’re probably referring to preserving them in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udf4b The Secret: The Mason Jar with Water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lemon peel is porous and therefore dries out quickly in the air and molds. But if you place it in a sealed jar of water and put it in the refrigerator, it will stay fresh and juicy for up to a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how, step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Washing: Wash the lemons thoroughly (it’s best to buy organic or peelless lemons if you want to use the peel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preserving: Place the lemons in a clean, large canning jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fill: Fill with cold water to the rim so that the fruit is completely submerged. Seal: Screw the lid on tightly and put it in the refrigerator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra tip: If you only have half a lemon, place it cut-side down in a small bowl of water \u2013 this will prevent it from drying out in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If water isn’t the best method, what’s your tip? Freezing? (Many people zest the lemons and pour the juice into ice cube trays.) Or salting them, which is very popular in Moroccan cuisine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
