You can squeeze the juice and freeze it in ice cube trays. Just don't forget it's there like I do and keep on buying lemons:rolleyes:

Home made lemonade.

Juice and zest of three lemons
1 tablespoon of sugar. (I use less as I like mine sharper)
1 pint of boiling water.

Put the juice,zest and sugar in a pint jug and top with boiling water.

When cool store in a container in the fridge.

*personally I leave the zest in and strain before drinking. You can strain before putting it in the fridge. Mines never in the
fridge long enough to worry about leaving it in.

I make lemon curd with our lemons - it's really easy and the kids love it on toast, and in cakes etc. oooh, and in pastry like jam tarts.

5-6 lemons

125g butter

2 cups sugar

4 free-range eggs

Beat the eggs briskly with a whisk and set aside. Grate the rind from all the lemons and set aside, then squeeze them and strain the juice. Set up a double boiler (I use a saucepan inside/on top of a bigger one filled with water) and inside it melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and lemon juice, until sugar is dissolved. Then add the beaten eggs and lemon rind, stirring all the time. Adjust the heat of the double boiler so that the water is moderately bubbling, then cook the lemon curd, stirring well all the time) until it becomes quite thick. Pour into sterilised jars. (Makes about 2 large or 3 small jars)

Lime curd is also nice, if you ever have enough limes to extract the equivalent juice and rind from! I've also had it made with passionfruit and lemon which was super-yummy.
