    If you have a liquidiser - liquidise and put in ice cube trays, half liquidised lemon & half water, (then freeze) use in G&Ts on hot sunny afternoons.
    For myself I am an optimist - there does not seem to be much use being anything else.

    I slice cheap lemons and limes into tiny pieces then put a piece in each ice cube tray and top up with water. They look and taste lovely in drinks and make even a drink of water a special treat :D

    I bought a big bag of fresh lemons from the supermarket today, they were selling them off for 30p, couldn't resist. Can anyone give me some different ideas on what I can use them in? I am sure to get some inspiration from folks on here.

    Freeze them whole.

    Wash and dry the lemons then put into a plastic bag and freeze them.
    They tend to be a bit mushy when defrosted,but I have still used them in cakes and lemon curd.

    Hope this helps.:)

    Juice them and freeze the juice in an ice-cube tray or lemon marmalade is a favourite in our house.

    Of course ............... if you happen to have a bottle of tequila handy ......
