Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 lemons, scrubbed
1/2 cup salt
2 one-inch cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
6 fresh or dried bay leaves
4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 24 lemons), strained

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash and dry lemons. Cut each lemon lengthwise into quarters, but only two-thirds of the way through, so one end remains intact. Rub the insides with 1 to 2 teaspoons salt. In 2 one-quart jars or 1 two-quart jar, layer lemons, remaining salt, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Pack the lemons as tightly as possible. Pour the lemon juice over the lemons until they are submerged.
  • Close jar or jars tightly. Place in a warm spot to ripen for at least 1 week before using. Gently shake the jars daily to redistribute salt. Store in the refrigerator. To use preserved lemons, remove amount needed from jar, remove flesh, and discard; rinse rind under cold water to remove excess salt.
