Lemon Harvest

 

Because of the cold snap here in southern Georgia, we had to finish harvesting the lemons.

Now that the lemons are harvested and I am begging the neighbors to take some off my hands, I am still left with a lot of lemons to deal with.  Naturally I am deciding how to make my lemons last until the next year's harvest.  I started by juicing lemons and freezing in ice cube trays. That way I will have frozen lemon juice to use throughout the year.

 

I like to keep lemon water (no sugar) in the fridge

 

 

 

Because my husband loves lemon merinque pie...

 

I love the pie in a jar idea because they are easy to throw in the lunch box.

Health benefits of lemons:

Lemons are packed with nutrients, including vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. (They contain more potassium than apples or grapes!
