"Recipe from Simply Scratch. She says you can up the lemon for a more lemony taste or up the pepper for a more peppery taste- the end balance of flavor will be up to you. Not tested yet- I am posting for future use (and I still have some lemon pepper right now). I will mark as tested and approved when I try it or someone else does with a favorable review. Just so you know."

Store in an airtight container up to 6 months.
Tips
- Spice mill, mortar and pestle, or a mini food processor that will grind pepper.
- Save fruit of lemon to juice- you can juice it and freeze it in ice cube trays. Standard ice cube trays hold about 2 tbsp. in each ice cube slot- freeze juice cubes, then store in a freezer bag to use in cooking.
