Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large lemons
½ cup Kosher salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons pepper corns
4 to 5 dry bay leaves
Fresh lemon juice of 7 to 8 lemons, ((about 2 1/2 cups of fresh lemon juice) )

Steps:

  • Cut about 1/4 -inch of the top and bottom of the lemons. Cut each lemon into quarters part-way through so that they remain connected at the bottom
  • Transfer the lemons to a large bowl and toss well with the salt and sugar. Open up the lemons some and stuff them with the kosher salt and sugar mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and up to 24 hours, the lemons will release some juice.
  • The next day, transfer the lemons and their juices to a large sterilized canning jar. Press them down firmly into the jar. Add the pepper corns and bay leaves. Top with fresh lemon juice (your goal is to submerge the lemons in the juice).
  • Seal the jar shut and store in the fridge for 3 weeks to 1 month before consuming.

LEMONS PRESERVED IN SALT AND LEMON JUICE



Lemons Preserved in Salt and Lemon Juice image

In this method, which is considered the most prestigious and gives the best results, no water is used. The lemon juice, which is the pickling liquor, can be reused for further batches.

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 lemons
4 tablespoons sea salt
Juice of 4 additional lemons, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Wash and scrub the lemons. The classic Moroccan way is to cut each lemon in quarters but not right through, so that the pieces are still attached at the stem end, and to stuff each with a tablespoon of salt and squeeze it closed. Put them in a sterilized preserving jar, pressing them down so that they are squashed together, and close the jar.
  • Leave for 3 to 4 days, by which time the lemons will have disgorged some of their juices and the skins will have softened a little. Open the jar and press the lemons down as much as you can, then add fresh lemon juice to cover them entirely.
  • Close the jar and leave in a cool place for at least a month. The longer they are left, the better the flavor. (If a piece of lemon is not covered, it develops a white mold that is harmless and just needs to be washed off.)
  • Before using, scoop out and discard the pulp and rinse the lemon peel under the tap to get rid of the salt.
