Preserved Lemons

Ingredients:

  • Kosher salt, 1 cups
  • Sugar, 1/2 cups
  • lemon, scrubbed, 5

Directions:

Clean the lemons and cut off the stem side. Quarter them, but leave a half inch or so at the end so all four quarters stay together.

Pack salt into the lemon quarters and stack flat in a clean jar (or a vac bag).

Cover and chill for up to a year, shaking up the mixture every day for the first few weeks to let the brine dissolve and redistribute.
