i've had pure, cold pressed quince (cydonia oblonga) juice that might be a decent lemon juice substitute.  surely it has the acidity, though i haven't measured it.

While everyone is contemplating their reply to Jerry, can anyone
recommend crabapple cultivars (or any other fruit source of juice)

I  have heard that crab apples really add flavor to apple cider if used
in small amounts.  I'm thinking of planting a crab apple tree for that
reason. Has anybody added crab apples to applesauce to add zest?  Or
anything else like pie? Jerry in southern Indiana
