SOUTH AFRICAN LEMON PICKLE
This versatile pickle is great with cold meats or cheeses, and is really nice to serve with a cheese board. It originally came from our S A herb guru, Margaret Roberts, who adores lemon for its many uses and medicinal value. The pickle is very good with smoked meats or, finely chopped, as a garnish for oily fish like mackerel, tuna or salmon. As soon as I have enough thick-skinned lemons again, I'll make this again and post a photo!

Steps:
- You need clean bottling jars for this. You need about 5 - 6 1-cup jars or 3 larger ones. Put into a cold oven, then heat oven 325 deg C/160 deg F and leave until needed.
- Halve the lemons, then slice into thin slices. Remove pips.
- Put the rest of the ingredients in a fairly big pot with a thick bottom, stir well, and bring to boiling.
- Boil for about 12 minutes, then add the lemon slices. Stir well once and pull from heat.
- Carefully take your sterilised bottles from the oven (best is to put them straight on to a metal oven tin).
- With a slotted spoon, ladle the lemon pieces into the jars, the fill up with the liquid, to cover the lemon slices.
- Very carefully, using oven gloves, wipe spills off the bottle necks with a damp cloth.
- Seal bottles with their tops.
- Cool, wipe completely clean, label, and leave for 2 weeks before using.
