A lot of times I leave zest out of recipes just because I don't happen to have an orange around.

My nephew has a lemon tree, I just juiced a bunch, freeze the juice in ice cube trays, then put in a plastic bag -- fresh lemon juice all year long.<br /><br />This week for Thrifty Thrsday I posted about making your own tinted sugars and coconut for cake decorating and also entertaining with picnics (one of the most frugal ways to throw a party).Cheri Sicardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10294934690243879582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664439679499187185.post-60530421388295398132009-05-06T15:42:51.885-05:002009-05-06T15:42:51.885-05:00I made lemon sorbet for Easter and did pretty much all of this! The recipe called for the juice of 12 lemons! Well, I didn't want all that zest to go to waste, so all that flavor went straight into my freezer!<br />One note from the local plumber though...make sure you break down your peels pretty well, or they will ruin your GD motor. Judging from your photos, you did a pretty good job of this though. I didn't know about the water treatment plant, but my mom always did this to keep the sink from smelling mildewy.Haleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422380184599186441noreply@blogger.com
