McCormick Culinary Pure Lemon Extract, 16 fl oz - One 16 Fluid Ounce Bottle of Lemon Flavoring Extract, Great for Subtle Lemony Flavors to Glazes and Fillings Such as Mousses and Custards

I make a lot of lemon flavored recipes and sauces and use bottled lemon juice when I don't have fresh lemons on hand. It works great only many recipes call for and need lemon zest to add that extra "zing" of flavor. A very small amount of this lemon extract is a great substitute for zest. In fact, my family never has mentioned they taste the difference because it provides a very similar flavor as lemon zest. You should be aware that the extract is pretty intense. Start with a small amount so you don't overdo it. I buy the large bottle because the 16 oz size offers great value for the money and as I mentioned...I use a lot of this stuff.

During the holiday seasons, I tend to use a lot of flavoring. However, I do use some offering flavors, but when it comes to my pie baking, it has to be McCormick. This lemonade has an excellent taste. The quality is good and I can always depend on McCormick to deliver. For cookies, cakes, pies, and other baked good mcCormick is a brand you can depend on.. I purchased this every year for baking during the holiday season.

Usually items are wrapped well; however, today the bottle of extract had a small leak because the bottle cap was not properly sealed.

I have a recipe for a Christmas treat that calls for lemon extract. Finally, I have found a quantity I need for a very reasonable price. Finding this in a large quantity at a great price lowered my cost appreciably for each cake I make.

Love this product it holds up well national brand , and it smells heavenly, I put a couple of drops in my muffin mix and the whole house smells amazing the taste is true to the flavor, thank you I would say this is a buy
