Preserved Lemons
Author: Julie
Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 15 mins
Ingredients
  • A clean 1 quart glass canning jar
  • 6 to 8 lemons
  • Kosher salt
  • Lemon juice
Method
  1. Wash 6 to 8 lemons very well. Try and use lemons that are not coated with wax. I used organic lemons for that very reason. Cut the bottom of the lemon and cut the lemon in 4 wedges, leaving the bottom connected.
  2. Cover the bottom of a 1 quart glass jar or canning jar with Kosher salt.
  3. Open the lemon and pack with salt and coat the outside of lemon with salt. Pack the salted lemon into the jar, adding some more salt on the top. Repeat the process until the jar is filled with salted lemons. Use a wooden spoon to push down on the lemons, to release some of the juice and squeeze in the lemons. Add extra juice to completely cover the lemons. Tilt the jar a few times to distribute the salt and lemon juice.
  4. Make sure to completely cover the lemons with juice. Close the jar. Turn the jar upside down from time to time, and store in a cool, dark place. After a month they are ready to use.
Notes
Enjoy!
