meyer lemons to be exact
i baked several batches of lemon bars but after a month and a half of far more sugar than i usually allow, the weight gain was noticeable
which is the crux of it - not sure what to do with lemons that doesn't involve sugar
i packed a few quart jars as per the salt-fermentation method but I really see that as a great option

Turning them into marmalade is pretty obvious. You can make it as sweet as you want and it will keep for a long while. I suppose you could preserve them as well, like people do with peaches and some other fruit. Then just use those lemons in baking, stews, etc.
You can use lemons in stews, puddings, ice cream, to flavor meats and drinks.
Other than that, use juices as marinade and substitutes for other acids and zest to spice up your food. I like to put some orange or lemon zest in spaghetti sauces, so you can just make a huge batch of it and then preserve or freeze it.

Then make some lemon-infused water, asshole. Cut lemons and throw in a pitcher with some ice and boom, lemon-water.

Is it possible to make alcohol from lemons? I can only find recipes that are just lemons added to alcohol.

alcohol requires sugar that the yeast can consume and ferment, so no.

I used sugar, a packet of yeast, water and some lemon juice following the general procedure for making wine.
>>16195
Correct, if you're just using lemons alone.
I know OP said "without sugar" but unless he is interested in making things that aren't food, that's all I've got.

Ignore this dumbass' choice of liquor though. You want vodka or neutral spirits (white rum works too), but you want it to be 90 proof or higher.

You end up with lemon extract for cooking and a horrible hangover/ulcers if you're stupid enough to drink it straight.

I believe the polite term for how to drink straight Everclear is "contraindicated".
If you're going to use a high test grain alcohol, I'd suggest Volkov. Been a while since I did any taste tests on 190 proof booze (YES THEY ARE DIFFERENT), but that one has a complementary flavor profile for citrus infusion.
Don't drink it straight. A shot will do wonders in a glass of cola. Which doesn't get you away from the sugar.

You know, it might not sound very intuitive, but add a bit of salt to the lemon-water instead of sugar. Makes a nice, refreshing drink on hot days. Works even better with lime. Salt and lime go great together.

It's time-consuming but you shave off the rinds and keep a stock of the dried lemon zest for flavoring. As for the lemons themselves, they have a lot of uses. You can make preserves using the standard method, do lemonade, make a bunch of lemon and garlic sauce and store that shit, make a lemon syrup for frozen treats, or you could even just use the liquid as a cleaning agent.

Lemon is nice with fish, if you have fish daily you can easily go through dozens of lemons a month.
