Is there a food, a cleaner, an air freshner?

Boil it as an air freshener; grind it in your garbage disposal if you have one--it will help clean and freshen it. Grate it and dry it for use in potpourri.

Well, if you're old enough to drink, try making Limoncello!! It's an Italian liquor, and it's very yummy and refreshing!!
Scale ingredients to servings
2/5 part 100 proof vodka
4 cups sugar
5 cups water
zest of 15 fresh lemons
1. Wash the lemons with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any reside of pesticides or wax. Carefully zest the lemons with a zester or vegetable peeler so there is no white pith on the peel.
In a 1-gallon glass jar, add one fifth vodka and the lemon zest. Cover the jar and let sit at room temperature for at least 10 days, and up to 40 days in a cool dark place.
3. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook until thickened, appx. 5 to 7 minutes. Let the syrup cool before adding it to the limoncello mixture. Add the additional fifth of vodka. Allow to rest for another 10 to 40 days.
4. After the rest period, strain and bottle, discarding the lemon zest. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

You can squeeze it and put it in the fridge to give the air some zest to it. Or if you are in the mood for some finger work, take the white parts out cafefully and boil the peel with a little water and sugar to make sugared peel which you can use as a candy peel in cakes and stuff. Google the recipe.
Peace.

used lemon peel is excellent for refreshing your garbage disposal. Just place the peels in the disposal and run with water. This trick takes away the bad oder in the disposal
