Uses for Lemon Juice

One way to preserve Lemon Juice
When we have a bumper crop of lemons or see bags of them on sale, I juice them, pour the juice into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.
Once completely frozen, I then pop them out of the trays and store the pure lemon juice in zipper plastic bags in the freezer. This way I always have a fresh tasting lemon on hand in case a recipe calls for it.
Thanks for all the great tips! I especially liked the one for removing garlic/onion smell from cutting boards. Cheers!

On Brass
Half a lemon sprinkled with salt leaves a soft sheen on 100% brass. You avoid that horrible-smelling store brass cleaner that leaves white stuff in cracks.

That also works well on copper. When used the same way, copper kitchen ware comes out absolutely brilliant. If it is a copper bowl used for whipping egg whites then the chemical reaction of the acid and salt and copper make your egg whites actually whip better and fold in easier - a wonderful trick when making the lightest matzoh balls - I learned this from my cousin.

fresh lemons only?
When using lemon juice for cleaning do you have to use fresh squeezed lemon juice or will the bottled kind work as well?

I am not sure. If you do try the bottled lemon juice, will you comment back and let us know?

Thank you

Thank you for the reply. I am going to try my recipe for polishing furniture with both fresh lemon juice and with the bottled juice. I will post back and let you know how it goes.

lemon juice
I can remember my mother always having half a lemon sitting on a saucer on the kitchen sink and whenever she finished cooking or washing dishes she would rub the tips of her fingers into the lemon. Her nails always looked so white and clean.
