We all know the feeling  of finding leftover lemons hiding at the back of the fridge. Instead of letting them go to waste, why not turn these yellow gems into something delicious?

Lemons are not local, but popular in recipes & drinks (roll between your hands before cutting, to release more juice). You can grind leftover lemon rind down waste disposal units to stop smells (don’t use lemons to clean kitchens if pets are nearby, as all citrus fruits are toxic to them).

How to Buy, Store and Prepare Lemons

Keep fresh lemons in a bowl in pet-free kitchens, or keep in the fridge for up to a week. Keep cut lemons in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few days. You can add a couple of drops of lemon juice to water, to stop fresh produce from going brown.

Lemon meringue pie (Addicted to Dates) is not a seasonal dish (though you could sub the lemon for apricots, raspberries or blueberries). But it’s a popular one, so why not learn to make your own?

This recipe by an Irish classically-trained baker uses way more lemon juice and zest than store-bought, a nice acidity against the sweet pie crust. Make your own pastry to avoid palm oil.
