This is a great way to do long term storage without refrigeration for citrus. You would not use this for baking but for other applications this is a great way to do preservation.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you proved them wrong today....I have never seen or heard of this...wow! What a great way to have them at the ready. Thank you!
Oh good you do with my parents and I’ve been doing for years this is so a good waiting to get that citrus into a lot of your diet throughout the winter months without having to pay that huge citrus price
This is extremely interesting as my brother-in-law and sister-in-law had 2 big lemon trees and would get sever hundred off each tree each year. The colder than normal winter changed their lives but they have planted some more. Wife and I have babied 8-10 trees during the past couple years and planning to put them in the ground in the next couple months. Hopefully next year we’ll be pulling off lemons!!
From what I read on the internet, you supposed to fill the jar with fresh lemon juice before sealing. This is new to me, but makes sense. Salt cures a lot of things.
Yes, so interesting to myself as well as I too have never heard of this. Let us know how it works. Here’s my main question though, “Do you put de lime in de coconut and drink them both up”! (I’m in a silly mood!) Good to hear ya girl. Hey, it’s suppose to be 85 here one day next week! Can’t believe it, but I am excited! Hope you are well. TC Vicki from Iowa 🦋
we take whole lemons or any citrus we have too many of and vacuum pack them and then put them in our freezer...take out and use as needed!!! Great for seafood boils when you need lemons! :-)
Hit up the industrial sized kitchens. Hospitals Nursing Homes Schools. Ask them for their large jars and cans. Pickles usually come in t big gallon sizedscontainers/ If you ask them to save them and the lids they wont wreck the lids taking them off. Typically they take a bench scraper and whack the lid in the middle to release the pressure and to make a handle for taking them off
I make Preserved Lemon like this. I cut them a little differently, but otherwise the same process. You will get lots of fluid that comes off them. It's normal. In a few weeks it should cover them all to protect them from oxygen so they don't rot. BTW... I cooked Stuffed Pork Chops last evening because of your inspiring video. My Taste Tester, I have a Linda, not a Joe, loved them!!
Thank you, any idea of the shelf life of these? This would be a great thing for my summer cabin where running to the store for things used up or forgotten is a major event.
It’s going to be interesting to see how they turn out. Unless you have your own citrus trees do you think it’s worth the investment of materials? I don’t mind the ones in the store that are plentiful all year.
Melissa I want to start a Keto diet. Can you advise me on a book or books that would help me? I want to lose 65 pounds. TY I know you are doing great. Just get me started. I have not had anything soda (I was a Dr. Pepper person) for over a year. That was tuff! But now on to the Keto. TY
Hi Melissa. Quick question I jarred our lemons and limes and I went in our basement to shake the jars and saw that there was liquid on the bottom of the jars. Is this to be expected? Love your videos.
@@astheroostercrows6435 Melissa that is my thoughts....the salt will penetrate the citrus and become way too salty for sweet but wont it be way too salty for anything else as well? once the salt gets in it....it would be hard to get it out of the citrus I would think...just a thought! :-)
1 year later (I just found your video) I'm wondering how the lemons survived. I've watched other who all use lemon juice as well and then they need to refrigerate. I don't want to have to count of my fridge & I don't want them super mushy. Would love to hear how they did please.
