Can I use lemon juice from a bottle instead of juice from an actual lemon?

Question

I'm making pork chops and the recipe calls for 1 juiced lemon. How much lemon juice would that be?

Answer 1

Of course you can..not as fresh and your missing out on the pulp...but much easier and time consuming
I'd say about a 1/4 cup...however..if your like me...I like it tangy....I'd a a little more for my taste

Answer 2

I have used lemon juice from a bottle before. 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice equals the size of 1 medium size lemon.

Answer 3

My Betty Crocker cookbook says 1 lemon will yield 2-3 Tbsp of juice. If they're at room temp when you juice them you get a bit more. So I'd personally go with 3 Tbsp.

Answer 4

No. I wouldn't suggest bottled lemon juice since they actually contain other ingredients rather than natural lemon juice. I suggest using real lemons for the juiceto make it more natural, and from scratch.

Answer 5

I would use about 2 tblsp depending on how tangy you like things.

I tend to find that bottle lemon juice is much tangier than a fresh lemon, so I tend to err on the light side when using bottled juice instead.

Answer 6

You can.Put half of a tea cup because the lemon juice most of the times is not that strong as afresh lemon !

Answer 7

A capful or two of bottled lemon juice would be fine.

Answer 8

Two to three tablespoons, approximately. But bottled juice won't give it the same flavor as fresh. Bottled juice has an extremely formulated sour taste.

Answer 9

About 1/4 of a cup.

Answer 10

You can but it will not taste as good as a fresh lemon. I guess you would use the same amount though.
