Substitute

Some of the basics that I use are straight from the Failsafe Cook Book or Friendly Foods and I thought it would be handy to add them to the blog so that they can be linked in and you don't have to get your books out or just in case you don't have these books.

I think the one I use the most is the lemon juice substitute.  We have been using it a bit less lately as the boy seems to be reacting to it.

Citric 'Lemon' Juice
Ingredients

• 80mls (4 Tbsp) hot water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3/4 tsp citric acid

Method

1. Add sugar and citric acid to hot water
2. Stir until dissolved
3. Store in sealed container in the fridge.

I make a triple batch and store in an old lemon juice bottle in the fridge.
