Elizabeth Roy on Nov 03, 2015Zest prior to cutting and freeze for baking. Also, grind them up in your garbage disposal. Cleans and leaves a really nice scent. Add the skins to white vinegar to use as a household cleaner.Helpful Reply

Martha May on Nov 11, 2015Grate the rind and freeze. Use in cheesecakes, salads a little sprinkled through. You can clean the flesh out and stud all over the skin with whole cloves. the skin will eventually dry put a cord through the top, hang in wardrobe. Keeps moths away and smells nice. The bit of juice left in the pulp helps bleach or lighten freckles and brown spots on hands face and neck. Do not wash off. The skin not the pith has a lot of oil. Chop finely or grate the skin off into a bottle, cover with vodka about 1/2 a cup. Replace lid ad store in a dark place for at least 3 months. Use as lemon essence. Cakes, muffins. Stews. About a teaspoon full. Also good as an astringent for oily skin. Wet a cotton pad or ball, gentle press most of water out add 2 drops of essence only and roll around to spread the essence then gently pat over the oily parts on face. Follow with a face cream for oily skin. This can also lighten blemishes or brown spots over time.Helpful Reply

Linda Caromile on Jun 08, 2016For lemoncello the rinds are cut into strips, the white pith is removed,, then the lemon strips are added to alcohol. After a few weeks, sugar and water is added to the lemon flavored alcohol, rind strips are drained. Voila!!Helpful Reply
