Can you substitute orange juice for lemon juice in a fruit cobbler?

Answer 1

Lemon juice is much more acidic than Orange Juice, and contains less natural sugars and less water. If you substitute fresh squeezed lemon juice for orange juice, the result will taste less sweet and much more sour. It's also a real pain to squeeze more than 1/2 c of lemon juice quickly.

So, if the recipe calls for 1 c of orange juice, consider mixing up a weak batch of lemonade (equal parts lemon juice and sugar, plus four times more water than lemon juice.) Alternatively, substituting lemonade from concentrate or out of a container will work just fine. DO NOT substitute lemonade made from powdered drink mixes for orange juice.

Answer 2

It depends on what your substituting it in. In other words, substituting orange juice for lemon juice for making lemonade just doesn't work.

Answer 3

Not usually, however it is possible. 1 T. of orange peel = 1/2 - 3/4 C. orange juice (not concentrated)

Answer 4

Yes, this can certainly be done. The lemon (or lime) juice used in an apple pie is not so much about the flavour, but about it's acidic property that keeps your apples from discolouring.

Answer 5

No, lemon juice is sour and apple juice is sweet. They would completely change the recipe.

Answer 6

No. Orange peel is a solid and orange juice is a liquid. It would adversely affect the outcome of the recipe.

Answer 7

Yes u can, but lime is also an option.
