When it comes to cooking, adding fresh lemon zest packs a tasty punch to many recipes. Unfortunately, most of us — myself included — end up trashing a majority of the lemon because you never get around to using the other half before it dries out. Instead of letting all your lemons go to waste, here's a simple way to keep your food fresh. The best part is, not only will you save the lemon, you'll also save lots of money.
In this clip from The Real Girl's Kitchen With Haylie Duff, she shares her favorite way to use part of a lemon without drying out the rest of it. She takes a small wooden skewer (or you can use a toothpick as well) and sticks it into the lemon. Then, she reveals how her simple cooking trick will leave you with a lemon that'll stay fresh for weeks. It's so easy, but it changes everything!
There's no reason to ever feel guilty again about slicing a lemon and having half of it left over. This is such an amazing trick, and it only takes a few seconds.
