Introduction



Chances are that if you surveyed a group of gourmet cooks, they'd rank the lemon as the fruit they'd least want to do without. If you live where you can grow your own, count your blessings. And if good taste isn't enough, lemons also pack a load of vitamin C.



Instructions



1Step OneHarvest lemons throughout the year.



2Step TwoPick lemons - and all citrus fruits - when they're bright yellow.



3Step ThreeTwist the fruit from the tree gently, or snip it off with clippers. Either way, take care not to damage the twigs on the tree.



4Step FourStore lemons at room temperature and enjoy their cheerful color; they'll keep well for about two weeks without refrigeration.



5Step FivePut lemons in plastic bags and keep them in the refrigerator for up to six weeks.



6Step SixKeep a ready supply of juice on hand by squeezing lemons and pouring the juice into ice cube trays. Later, transfer the frozen cubes to a plastic freezer container.



Tips %26amp; Warnings



Even if you live in a cold climate, you can still have fresh lemons year-round. Several varieties of dwarf lemon tree can thrive indoors. Two of the best for containers are Meyer and Ponderosa

Do lemons ripen off the vine?
No, they ripen off the lemon trees
Reply:I believe so. Tomatoes ripen off the vine. Usually you use heat (a brown paper bag, maybe witha few apples). If they are too young though, nothing will ripen.

Reply:lemons are grown off trees. there easy to grow. you can plant them in the spring but it takes years for them to mature and produce fruit. i would suggest transplanting a premade one.
