When I buy lemons and limes for juicing I end up with three freezable products, therefore using the entire fruit. First I zest the fruit with a sharp vegetable peeler and freeze it a small airtight container. Then I juice the fruit, straing and freezing the juice in ice cube trays. Third, I I place the juiced fruit rinds and cover with sugar and just a bit of water.I use 1 cup of sugar for every 12 lemon. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 12 hours.Press the rinds and strain the syrup.
