Chopping Lemons through a Mincer!

I have 3 banana boxes of Lemons and need to chop them up so I can freeze them for later cordial use etc. Any one know any issues of putting the Lemons through a Mincer! thought it might be a cheates way as our Whizz is bust (cracked with the quakes so leaks liquid all over granite bench top so cant have that).

Mum used to do the grapefruit for marmalade through hers, no problems.

I think the disadvantage to mincing is that the pith gets squashed.That will make whatever you use the lemons in cloudier than if you sliced them.

the pips will make them taste awful

No problem at all. I used to do my marmalade like this before I used my processor. OK, the pips may be a nuisance, but can be taken out later. The important thing is not to let the lemons waste. One thing, can you borrow a processor!
