ScrubbieLady Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 My tomato recipe calls for lemon juice to increase the acidity. Can I substitute lime juice? Quote Link to comment
Violet Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Only if it is bottle lime juice, not fresh or frozen. Not sure what lime will taste like. Good in salsa, though. I like citric acid crystals in my tomatoes. Quote Link to comment
Amishway Homesteaders Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 question? Why would you want lime instead of lemon, That works so well? Quote Link to comment
themartianchick Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I assume that it is what she has on hand, Michael. Dontcha just hate it when you're making something and realize that you're missing an ingredient? Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ohhh, I'll bet lime would be good in salsa! Yeah, I figured she had lime juice on hand too. Quote Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yep, no lemon juice, only lime available. I don't live close enough to anything to run to the store for that. Closest was 7 miles away and they didn't have lemon juice. Next is another 10 miles. Quote Link to comment
Violet Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Why not order some powdered citric acid online and have it stored ? Quote Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Actually, I usually have lemon juice on hand. If I forget to pick up lemon juice, who's to say I won't forget to order the citric acid as needed. I was just wondering if in a pinch, I could use lime juice. Quote Link to comment
