Preserving Lemons: A Year-Round Supply

Lemons, with their bright, zesty flavor and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes, are a staple in many kitchens. However, their relatively short shelf life can be frustrating. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to keep lemons fresh for up to a year without freezing or cooking them.

The Art of Curing

The key to extending the shelf life of lemons lies in a process called curing. This involves allowing the lemons to sit for a period, allowing their skin to toughen and develop a protective layer.

  1. Select the Right Lemons: Choose lemons that are firm, heavy for their size, and have a vibrant yellow color. Avoid those with soft spots or blemishes.
  2. Cure in a Single Layer: Place the lemons in a single layer on a baking sheet or wire rack, ensuring they don’t touch.
  3. Find a Cool, Dark Place: Store the lemons in a cool, dark location, such as a pantry or cellar. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
