My tomato recipe calls for lemon juice to increase the acidity. Can I substitute lime juice?

Only if it is bottle lime juice, not fresh or frozen.

Not sure what lime will taste like. Good in salsa, though. I like citric acid crystals in my tomatoes.
I can, you can, too !

I assume that it is what she has on hand, Michael. Dontcha just hate it when you're making something and realize that you're missing an ingredient?

Ohhh, I'll bet lime would be good in salsa!

Yeah, I figured she had lime juice on hand too.

Yep, no lemon juice, only lime available. I don't live close enough to anything to run to the store for that. Closest was 7 miles away and they didn't have lemon juice. Next is another 10 miles.

Why not order some powdered citric acid online and have it stored ?

Actually, I usually have lemon juice on hand. If I forget to pick up lemon juice, who's to say I won't forget to order the citric acid as needed. I was just wondering if in a pinch, I could use lime juice.
