I had an enormous amount of lemons given to me once, after asking for just 3 or 4!So I decided to squeeze the juice from them and freeze in ice cube trays. I managed to get around 4 cups of juice from all those lemons, and once frozen, I emptied the lemon (ice cubes) into snap lock freezer bags. I also freezed some peel which was also a success.
Frozen lemon juice is very handy to have; the other day I wanted to make a Lemon Meringue Pie but had no lemons, and I really wanted the lumpy skinned variety that are so hard to find.and voila! i still had some frozen lemon juice in the freezer! (The knobbly skinned variety of lemons is much, much more flavoursome, and the only lemons I use for baking). Also, the advantage of freezing the juice in ice cube trays is that you only need to thaw 1 cube for a very small amount - no wastage!)

LEMON CORDIAL!!
6 lemons, 750g sugar, 25g citric acid, boiling water
Peel the rind off 3 lemons- no white pith. Place the peel and 2 cups of sugar in the food processor and run the machine until the rind is really ground up and the sugar yellow and oily looking. squeeze all 6 lemons and add the juice and citric acid to the lemon sugar in the food processor. Add boiling water to dissolve the sugar.Make up to 1.5 litres with cold water and store in the fridge. To serve, dilute the cordialwithchilled sparkling mineral or soda water, about 1 part cordial to 4 parts water to taste. Add mint leaves and lemon slices and crushed ice. (should be able to use plain water of lemonade with this)
