If there's one summertime tradition as essential as grilling, as revered as sunbathing, and as beloved as a good pair of sandals, it's a glass of ice-cold lemonade.
And though everyone has their own secret recipe for this sweet and sour summertime treat, there's one ingredient that simply can't be neglected: lemons.
But once you've cut and squeezed all you need, you're often left with wedges that you just don't know what to do with. It seems like a waste to throw them out, but you know they'll just dry up in a baggy or container.
However, after finding this incredible cooking life hack, I couldn't believe I'd never thought of this before! It's so obvious but so brilliant. With just a sandwich bag and a straw, I'll never waste my leftover fruit again.
What's more, this kitchen trick isn't just good for lemons. It's the perfect way to preserve limes, apples, grapefruits, or any other sliced fruits that tend to dry up.
And if you don't mind the taste, you could even use this for veggies, too. Need a single slice of onion for a hot-off-the-grill burger? Toss the rest in a baggy and keep the rest nice and crisp.
For long-time preservation, you could even throw these airtight bags in the freezer and thaw them out when you're ready. You'll keep fresh produce on hand all summer long.
Please SHARE if you'll be using this summertime life hack! I know I will.
