Ingredients:

  • 4 organic unwaxed lemons
  • 4 tbsp rock salt

Directions:

  1. Quarter lemons lengthwise and put in a noncorrosive airtight container.
  2. Freeze for 8 hours.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon rock/kosher salt per lemon(in this case 4 Tbsp.).
  4. Store airtight at room temperature for 6 days; shake occasionally. Use as suggested in your recipes.
  5. To store, chill up to 1 year sealed well (color *can* darken a bit, fine to use). I use organic lemons that are unwaxed.
  6. PLEASE do not use waxed lemons!
  7. When ready to use rinse well under running cold running water and remove the pulp with a sharp knife, discarding. The rind is all of a preserved lemon which is used and can be left quartered or julienned.
  8. The COOKING TIME is THE FREEZING AND CURING TIME. .
