Did you leave the seeds in Chookie?  It looks like Uni has taken her seeds out.  How much of a difference do you think this would make to the end taste?

Marina,  depends on how many seeds are in the lemons.  Some have lots ,  some a few. 
Uni,  you really are a clever girl.

Uni, these look great.  Let us know how they go in the TMX.
My slicer isn't one of those beautiful machines that I see in the Italian Shops in Melb.  We bought it at a country market.  Second hand.  Still it does the job.

No,  I don't.  We eat most of our Sour Dough bread toasted.

This is a great idea Chookie.  A few months ago I made lemon powder by drying the grated zest of lemons to then grind to powder. (to make lemon pepper).  As you can imagine it took quite a few lemons and didn't make much powder.  Using the whole lemon appeals to me.  I will try this, thanks for posting.  :D

Chookie, I have dried orange rind and pulverised it in the TM to use in cooking -it's concentrated flavour is just divine.  Must give lemon rind a go now, too!  :)

Hi, I have just caught up with this thread, GREAT.  I have heaps of Meyer Lemons and the dehydrator is still out from making Tenina's chicken stock powder, i will have this on tonight.  I LOVE this forum and the ever surprising idea that arise.

Uni, I have had my dehydrator for about 20 years, I love it, sometimes I forget I have it but once it is out, usually in summer I love making dried fruits in it.   Rock melon and watermelon, they take a bit of drying but they are delicious snacks when dried.  I have also dried slices of cumquat's and dipped them in chocolate.....hummmm.   You would get a lot of use out of one.
