Do I have to juice my lemons before I freeze them? Can I freeze lemons whole? Should I freeze lemons whole?
One of the delightful problems with fruit trees is ending up with more fruit than you know what to do with. Options include attempting to use them, giving them away, preserving them or storing them. The best option requires the least effort. Lemons will freeze quite well as they are. Juicing can be time consuming and monotonous when you do the lot as once. I suggest freezing lemons whole, they will give you rind when first removed from the freezer and juice when thawed.
This video is a short comparison of the impact of refrigerating your oversupply of lemons versus freezing your oversupply on their usefulness. It also includes a brief explanation of why the differences occur.
