Got Lemons? Freeze 'Em!

     This nifty tip comes from my friend Sue in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where folks are apparently much more citrus savvy than I am because I've never heard of it.  Here's the deal:  Put a whole lemon in your freezer and once it's frozen solid, grate it over fish, chicken, vegetables, salad, yogurt, anything your little heart desires.  And grate the entire lemon -- peel, pith, pulp, and all.  Seriously!  I tried it over warm salmon and a green salad, and it was equally delicious on both, adding an intense lemon flavor with no discernible bitterness from the white pith.  Who knew?  Sue knew!  Thanks, Sue!

I like this! I've previously (and laboriously) juiced my lemons, put the juice in ice cube trays and frozen them. This is much easier! I'll try it next time my lemon tree goes crazy!

Hey Anonymous, if you live anywhere near me, I'd be happy to help you harvest next time your lemon tree goes crazy. Nothing like fresh-picked! Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the idea. Can't wait to try it on my fish dishes.
