"Can you freeze lemon slices" Topic

Well, obviously you can- you can freeze most things, given a large enough freezer – so the wags pre-empted…

Can lemon slices be frozen and still be usable?

The amount I need in a G&T (for instance) means that most of the lemon goes bad before I use it. Its not so much the buying a lemon, its the fact that you have to have one available for occasional use.

Would freezing the slices damage the flavour?

Apparently, you can, Last Hussar. Check out these links for info:

Magic – Thanks. 'Parchment' is what we call greaseproof/baking paper, yes?

Thinking that I wont need ice cubes, which will have the advantage that there will be less dilution. (Freeze grapes to use instead of ice cubes for the same reason)

We do it all the time. Pick, wash, slice, freeze, then straight into the punch bowl for appearance, less dilution, etc.

Baking parchment is a silicone impregnated paper that you can get from King Arthur Flour and other places. You can use each sheet several times, they're about twenty bucks for a hundred big sheets. They are a *huge*, *HUGE* timesaver, since not only does nothing stick but you save a lot of clean up.

Used ordinary greaseproof paper, and it worked perfectly – they didn't stick. Wish I'd bought more lemons!

Now in the freezer in a food bag. No ice on them, so should be good for not diluting the drink.
