EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

No guesswork here--one medium fresh lemon will give you about 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice and 2 to 3 teaspoons grated lemon peel. To get the most juice out of a lemon or lime, it should be at room temperature, or microwave it on High for about 20 seconds or so to warm it. Rolling a whole lemon back and forth on the counter while pressing gently also will give you more juice.

I had some lemons that needed to be used up and a party to go to so when I saw this recipe, I solved both my dilemmas! Very easy to make and they turned out great. Quite tasty. Will certainly make them again!
