Fresh Lime Juice
Dear Kate,
I've decided to share with you one of the ways I live on a little less. As you know I really enjoy cooking and have found that I like to use my freezer when it comes to saving money. I found limes last week for 12 cents each...what a bargain. I bought 8...should have bought more. Tonight I am juicing them with my little antique hand juicer and then freezing the juice in ice cube trays. After it's frozen I put it in a freezer bag marked and dated. Then whenever I need fresh lime juice for a recipe, I have what I need. It's so convenient and much better than the bottles of juice. I have loved it, especially in fresh salsa in the summer. Each cube is about 2 Tablespoons. I also do this with lemons and with the leftover pineapple juice from canned pineapple. I love the pineapple juice in my green smoothies. You'll have to try it and let me know what you think.
Have a great day in the cold state of Wisconsin. We are experiencing weather in the high 50's...it's been great!
Love,
Amy

Love, love, love this idea! We use lime and lemon juice in a lot of things, but it's always so expensive...or it expires before I used it all up. This is a fabulous way to save money and still enjoy the flavor of fresh citrus. Thanks, Ames!
