Hello! Today on Flat Tire Farm, we work through our 3rd stage in the series on zero waste processing for lemons. We're going to find ways to use every bit of a case of organic lemons and have nothing to throw away. Today PEELS are the deals. We’re going to make a CITRUS CLEANER, a LEMON INFUSED OLIVE OIL and make PRESERVED LEMONS rogue style!!

I also follow a no waste processing of my Meyer lemons. I’ve had my tree for about 10 years. I juice about 4 gallons of lemons juice,which I freeze in 2,4,8 oz cubes,then seal in food saver bags. I zest the all the lemons before juicing them and freeze that also.I make 6 quarts of different flavored preserve lemons.(I use pulp to marinate my chicken) Also I make lemon curd(which I freeze in half pint jars).I just learned about making pectin with the piths and seeds,lemon vinegar for cleaning. The one thing I am excited to try this year is the lemon caramel sauce.😊 Before I retired I was known as the lemon lady,a good portion of my baked goods was lemon flavor.

Hello Miss Rachelle! You are awesome! I’d LOVE to hear about lemon caramel sauce. That’s definitely up my ally. I just posted a video today about ways to use preserved lemons. I’d love to hear some of you ideas. I bet you have lots! Thanks for watching. 😊

Wow that’s a lot of lemon peel. Many years ago I watched the move “under the Tuscan sun” based in Italy they used peels for limoncello. We are not for alcohol but I cannot see lemons without thinking of it. Lol, just thought I’d share. Thanks so much.

I’m so thankful for the time you put in this video and previous ones to improve the quality of products we use and the best part they are home made with love for our families and healthy knowing what we are using.

I use the salty brine from preserved lemons to marinate meat and poultry. It eliminates the unpleasant chicken odor that I dislike so much. I add this brine to the marinade, about two to three tablespoons, all depending on the amount of meat, and it works great.

Just as information the whole of the preserved lemon is often used in Mediterranean cooking, not just the peel. I have seen many videos on KZbin where they use all the lemon, and either just the peel or the pulp. I've noticed its often the "chef's" that only use peel, and the traditional/national/home cooks that use it all. Can't remember off hand the ones that threw the peel but they weren't European/middle eastern.

Hi Chrystal! Just RE-watched this video & took notes this time. My question is... can I do those same things with oranges & limes? Thanks for the great instructions, as always. ❤❤

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska 17 күн бұрын

Hey Miss Sandi! Great Question. I’d say it’s worth s try! Lemons and limes have almost identical Ph. So in terms of the cleaner and preserved lemons, I would totally feel comfortable using limes. And the olive oil infusion, that’s a definite yes.

Yes, Crystal... you go a little rogue and you COULD be considered a little weird, but I LIKE that about you!! You just keep doin' you & I'll keep watching & referring your channel to others. As for the rogue side of things... the people that whine about things they don't agree with & go away... they miss out on all the cool things you guys come up with. People are way too sensitive these days. My words, not yours. I watch LOTS of channels that do things differently than I do, but I use common sense to decide for myself. I dont take certain things for gospel just because they say so. I look into it further, and decide for myself. Soooo... my UNSOLICITED advice is Don't sweat it. In fact... DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF... BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN... IT ALL TURNS OUT TO BE "SMALL STUFF". Somebody else said that at some point, but I have no idea who. But I like it! 😉 Your channel will be just fine. Hang in there. You guys are GREAT! Demented driveway, bonfires that involve DE-ICING a firepit before you can use it... I could go on... but I'll just sit here and wait (not patiently) for your video on lemon seeds... and your next weirdly rogue video! Stay warm, God bless!🙏

God bless you too my sweet friend. I appreciate your support and comments. I don’t worry much if someone doesn’t like my ideas. It’s ok, it’s an idea. God gave everyone a free will and He respects that even when we are using our will to self destruct. I do my best to follow that example and love big enough to respect others’s free will even if I don’t agree. Thanks for always being awesome and maybe someday I’ll be as cool as you when I’m 113 in trucker years. 💕

I didn't see...do the preserved lemons have the pulp attached to them? Or you removed the pulp after juicing?

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska Жыл бұрын

Hey friend, there was no pop when I made the preserved lemons. It all kind of disintegrated during the juicing process. I did, however leave the membrane connected and the pith and the peel when I preserved the lemons. I hope that answers your question. Also in this same playlist, I did a video on lots of ways to use preserved lemons if you’re interested in it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy spring time!

I have seen fermented lemons before and have wanted to make them, but I just don’t know HOW to use them once they’re fermented. Could you please make a video showing HOW you use them?

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska Жыл бұрын

Hey friend! Thanks for watching the lemon series. As I consider your great idea of making a video on this topic, here is a short answer. Basically, fermented lemon can be used for any savory baking dish that you’d use lemons in. For examples: mince or thinly slice and sprinkle over fish and chicken before baking. I know this isn’t the whole answer that you were looking for, but I promise to give you a more thorough response before this weekend is over. 😊

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska 5 ай бұрын

That’s a great question friend I use it all the time in cooking. I use the flavored oil in place of regular olive oil and dishes that I need a little bit of lemon flavor. Sometimes I use it at the bottom of the griddle when I’m making pancakes, or if I’m going to cook up some chicken. I’ve also used it as a base for salad dressings. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.
