Ingredients: 

Yield: 7

  • 7 lemons, washed

  • 7 tablespoons rock salt

  • Lemon Juice

 

* Wash the lemons and cut them in half making sure it maintains contact at the end where the stem attaches, then turn it 90 degrees and do the same. At this point you should have 4 quarters attached at the top of the lemon. 

* Rub the inside of each lemon with 1 tablespoon of coarse salt, close the lemon and squeeze it into a sterilized jar. Repeat the process with all the lemons and pack them tightly. Add a little more lemon juice just to cover the top of the lemon and seal the jar.
