Total time: 
 
Ingredients
  • 5 Medium or 3 Large Lemons
  • 2 Lemons For Juicing
  • ½ Cup Salt
Instructions
  1. Wash the lemons in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry.
  2. Cut off the ends of each lemon, then cut into quarters.
  3. Sterilize a large canning jar and lid.
  4. Place the lemon wedges into the jar being careful not to crush the flesh, but still packing them in fairly firmly.
  5. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of salt between each layer, and sprinkle the remaining salt on top.
  6. Juice the last two lemons, and pour over the lemons.
  7. Store the lemons in the refrigerator, turning upside down every other day or so to ensure all of the lemons get covered in the salty syrup.
  8. Once cured, after about 2 to 3 weeks, you can begin to use them.
  9. Lemons will keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
Notes
These lemons have an intense flavor and can be added to any recipe that includes lemons.
