How to Preserve Lemons



Ingredients:
12 organic lemons
3/4 cup sea salt
quart-size mason jar

Directions:
1. Half of the lemons will be preserved and the other half will be used for juice.
2. First, thoroughly scrub and rinse your lemons. This is an instance when you really want an organic, or at least unsprayed, lemon.
3. Next, slice one half of your lemons into quarters. Place the first four quarters in the bottom of the jar, flesh side up. Sprinkle with one or two tablespoons sea salt – be generous.
4. Continue with one set of lemon quarters followed by one or two tablespoon sea salt.
5. Once the jar is packed with lemons, squeeze the remaining lemons to fill the jar with juice.
6. Let sit for at least one month before use.
