In my earlier, less refined days, I never really considered that there was a difference between the juice from real lemons vs. ReaLemon juice. I bought the advertising - and its convenience and cheapness. However, reconstituted lemon juice totally pales in taste to fresh. One plus for ReaLemon is that it lasts 'forever' in the fridge; not so much fresh lemons.
I hate throwing away food that's gone bad!
So what's a 2nd Best Job in the World guy to do?
I had to learn how to store fresh lemons better.
And as it turns out, it's quite simple:
1. Place lemons in a sealable freezer bag and put them in the fridge. Easy breezy.
I have found that lemons remain fresh for a month stored in this fashion.
And limes, too!
I buy bags of lemons when they're on sale...cut them into wedges and freeze them. Then straight from freezer I throw a wedge in my water or lemonade in summer. It doubles as an ice cube!! Also good in a mug with boiling water poured in!!
