My jar of preserved lemons is down to the bottom third and it's been
around a while.

I decided to take the lemons out, wash off the pulp and salt, put them
in a freezer bag
and pop them in the freezer.

I don't know if freezing them will change the flavors but it probably
will make them even
softer when I go to use them..

We'll see.

I froze the preserved peels that I made and they're fine. Personally,
I thought they were really soft to begin with, so it they got softer
they would have been mush. I chop my peel very small for better
distribution, so it wouldn't matter anyway. Next time, I'll chop them
before I freeze them because the salt keeps them from getting rock
hard.

Why bother?? They *are* preserved, don't you know?

I agree with PL. There is no reason to freeze preserved lemon.
In fact rinsing the salt off before freezing it may lead to
a lower storage life, not a longer one.
