Lemon Juice Substitute
Need a splash of lemon juice for a recipe? Save yourself some cash, and give this substitute a try:

Prep Time: 1 minute

Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients:

  • Vinegar

Preparation:

Replace the lemon juice called for in a recipe with half as much white vinegar.

Note: Substituting vinegar for lemon juice works best in dishes where small amounts are used. It is not a good substitute for the lemon in drinks, and should not be used as a substitute for the lemon in canning recipes.

Worked great in apple crisp, Member KatharMom

This worked really well in apple crisp -- I substituted 2T of white vinegar for 2T of lemon juice. Nobody noticed a thing -- it might even have tasted better, a little more ""twang""!
