New Uses for: Lemons

When you cut up lemons or other citrus fruit, save the scraps and freeze them. Whenever you need to freshen up your kitchen or microwave from cooking odors, add the scraps to some water along with some cloves and microwave until it starts to boil. You can also do this on top of the stove.

*Note:
-Use a big container to avoid overflow.

Freezer Friendly: Lemons

You can wash, deseed, cut up and freeze. I keep frozen lemon wedges in my freezer at all times because I like to put the frozen wedges in drinks. I don't separate them to freeze, I just put them into a freezer proof container and freeze. They are easy to take apart.

If you need any lemon for cooking/baking, leave out at room temperature, it will thaw very quickly. You can freeze the lemons whole. You can also do this with other citrus fruit.
