Goodness, I’ve been looking for stainless steel ice trays for years. Thanks! I bought some green silicone ones but they leave a funny flavor!

Hi everyone! I never throw celery leaves away. I wash them, lay on a clean cotton towel in a glass plate or pie pan. Put up in the cabinet for about a week until dry. Crumble and store in a clean jar. Wonderful to add to soup, chicken, apple salad etc.

I do the ice cube thing for lemons and limes too. And keep the peels in the freezer – simmer in some water in the microwave to make the house smell good.

Are these along the lines of what you’re looking for?

What a great idea. I love freezers!

I’m often a little scared at just how dependent on them I am. What if my electricity failed and I lost all that food?

Anyhow, thanks for sharing this in Fight Back Fridays today.

Cheers,

Hi Wardeh – preserved lemons and limes are another great way to put them up but they will always be slightly salty, even once you rinse them. The freezing cubes is such a great idea! I’ve been using mine all spring and sadly I think I’ll run out before summer is over.

The preserved lemon directions are here: http://sustainableeats.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/preserved-lemons/ and should last for a year in your fridge.

I also ordered a meyer lemon tree which is supposed to grow lemons year round but in the Pacific NW I will need to bring it in the house over the winter. I planted a yuzu tree too which is from Japan, weathers over outside ok and has small fruit that taste like a cross between a tangerine & lime from what I understand. I’ll let you know how that goes in a few years…

Great post!
