A new year means a resolution to return to our regular Tuesday Tips feature. This week...a few unusual uses for the humble lemon.Sanitize that chopping block or cutting board. Rub a lemon half over. For some additional abrasive power, sprinkle the lemon with a little kosher salt first.
We all know this one, right? Use lemon juice to keep foods from turning brown. Toss apple or pear slices in a little lemon juice or dunk them in a bowl of water with some lemon juice added. Give a generous squeeze over the top of your guacamole to keep it from acquiring that unappetizing brownish hue.
Make removing soft cheese or sticky foods from a grater a lot easier by rubbing both sides with the pulp side of a cut lemon.
And a decorating tip. A big bowl of lemons make a great centerpiece or spot of color on your kitchen counter.
