What about LEMON JUICE???

[Pig Pen]

Inspired by the vinegar thread. My parents left yesterday for Florida and dropped off all their leftover groceries, including a quart bottle of lemon juice. How can we use this up before WE depart for Florida in January? Any ideas?

I use a tablespoon to make buttermilk (which is difficult to find here). I use the buttermilk for my banana bread.

Maybe make a pitcher, or two of lemonade?

I'd be baking up a whole bunch of lemon stuff:

Lemon bars
Lemon sugar cookies
Lemon Bread
Lemon muffins
Lemon pies (using recipes from the Jell-O pudding sites)
Lemon Meringue pie
Lemon freezer desserts

All kinds of really great recipes out there that call for lemon juice!

I sprinkle it on my roasted asparagus. I use it to keep my apples from browning.

I put half lemon juice and half water in the mocrowave and heat to a rapid boil. The steam cleans the inside and the lemon juice makes it smell good.

Couple of drops in my nightly ice water if I am out of fresh lemon wedges

In hot tea with honey when we have colds or sore throats

My favorite is to sprinkle onto chicken breast, add a pinch of salt and some fresh ground pepper, let marinate all day or overnight then BBQ - YUMMY!

I also use it as a base with carne asada seasoning for a beef marinade

In Mexican foods as a substitute for lime. Tacos, Rice, Carne Asada, etc.

Put a couple drops of it in sprite with a couple of mint leaves if you have any if not just the drops of lemon juice. YUM
