Sometimes you’ll see candied citrus slices that have also been dipped in sugar crystals after candying. This is optional depending on the look you’re going for. Freshening up the Sink Disposal: throw in 2-4 at a time and run your garbage disposal with the water on until they clear. This is my basic method for freezing lemon zest. If you want to create the ultimate citrus mix that’s perfect for cakes try to mix the zest of lemons, limes and oranges in one bag.I tend to like the shimmer of the candied lemon slices as they are naturally but if you prefer them dipped either fully or half in sugar, dry them out as directed then dip in sugar before using. Cut off the end tips and either slice the lemons in circles (better for larger fruit) OR quarter them vertically, leaving the ends attached on one side (better for smaller fruit). An easy way to preserve whole lemons, lemon slices, lemon juice, and lemon zest is to simply pop them in the freezer. Lemons can be dehydrated in a food dehydrator at 115 degrees for about 24 hours, or a bit faster at 135 degrees for about 6-8 hours. Simply juice as many lemons as you please and then filter the juice through a fine-mesh strainer. Bring the juice up to a boil and then water bath can it for 5 minutes leaving 1/4 inch headspace.

Soak the whole lemons in the vinegar solution for 20 minutes to remove pesticides and chemicals. Once done soaking, rinse them under cold water and dry them with paper towels or a rag. How to Freeze Lemons At-home freeze dryers are expensive, but many die-hard food preservation nerds have one at home. Home freeze drying works by first freezing the food, then a vacuum pump pulls out the moisture, leaving the food with the same shape, color, and flavor of the original.Fresh squeezed lemon juice will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks before it loses its vibrance and freshness. Keep it in a glass mason jar and use in salsas, drinks or any recipe that calls for lemon juice. It also makes the best Lemonade you’ll ever try! Here is our favorite lemon juicer.
