Can lemon extract be replace with lemon juice?

Question

Hope one can answer soon........can lemon extract be replaced with lemon juice if the extract can't be found in the store?

Answer 1

no

I do not believe any citrus acid is present in the alcohol base

Answer 2

i am pretty sure it could. you would just have to experiment.  

Answer 3

Lemon extract is stronger but not tart so it won't be the same. Use lemon zest if you can find it

Answer 4

yes, but it won't be as lemon-y.  If you have a fresh lemon, use fresh juice and grate the zest (skin) of the lemon into the dish as well for flavor.

Answer 5

idk  

Answer 6

You did not mention what exactly you are preparing.

Lemon extract has alcohol and is stronger so I would think that you might need more fresh juice to replace it.  Try it by starting out with a small amount of fresh juice.
