Brendam. Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Does anyone know what happened to the Jif lemons we used to use during baking? It was a plastic lemon full of pure lemon juice, for those who don't know - just a squirt of that added the right amount of lemon juice to food especially on Pancake Day. While looking for the ingredients for Hawaiian Chicken a couple of days ago I realised that there wasn't a Jif in sight and nobody seems to know what became of them!! Is there anybody out there who can help????? Bren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Unilever still make it, so it should be available in most supermarkets http://www.unileverfoodsolutions.co.uk/products/portfolio/show/1976-5046-0-1010026.jif_lemon_squeezy_55ml.html Interestingly Mrs K recently threw out a Jif as it had passed its sell by date, and I notice that she has replaced it with an unbranded alternative.

Dizzy Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 That's something that has never occurred to me Brendam. Every year I buy a Jiff Lemon (the one that you mention in a little lemon shaped squeezy plastic thing) but it is always around pancake day and they seem to be everywhere. Can't say I've ever seen or bought one at any other time though. Maybe they are like cadburys cream eggs at easter and then simply disapear from the supermarkets (or maybe they are still there but hidden away from us all amongst all the other stuff and not so obvious). Now that you have mentioned it I will probably find myself looking for Jiff Lemons everytime I shop. Thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendam. Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks for both replies. In the end I bought lemon juice in a bottle and made the Hawaiian chicken using that.....it's still gorgeous but I'll keep looking for Jif! Bren.

observer Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thought it might be pineapples - sounds a lot of sugar though: would honey do instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendam. Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yes Obs, I'm sure honey would do just as well. Good luck, it's absolutely delicious! Bren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
