We're not talking that old bottle of "Real Lemon" you might have tried
in your youth, Shel. Perhaps that stuff was pasteurized or something
which could explain why it is so nasty?
Minute Maid now sells an incredibly good quality lemon juice in the
frozen section, which when thawed and kept in the frige a couple of
weeks is an excellent alternative to fresh squeezed juice.
