3 Failproof Ways to Preserve Lemon & Limes

I had a limited number of lemons and limes. Normally we do this by the gallon with the sugar and I will do two pints with the salt - we don't use the salt as often but when we do it's amazing.

Over time the color may darken a bit in the jars, but it is fine to use. Keep the sugar top on the fruit, and when you open a jar and start using it, just keep using until gone - no need to keep refilling with lemons and sugar, only if you top off a jar you are starting do you add more fruit and sugar. Not sure if I made that clear in the video.

Mandarins, grapefruit and oranges are really good this way too and make a nice cool drink on hot days if you pour it over ice and add some sparkling soda to it.

The possibilities are truly endless. I hope you give this a try.

If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments. And I don't earn income from this, I do it solely to help others learn how to cut costs and live simpler, eat healthier and be more self-sufficient. We're heading into summer months which means A LOT of outdoor cooking over a campfire and using hot coals from the campfire (not BBQ briquettes, real coals from real wood)...and lots of other good info to know. So please stayed tuned, and if you think someone would like my videos, please share them.

Enjoy!
