Main Ingredients

  • 5 whole Lemons organic if possible
  • ¼ cup Kosher salt
  • 1 cup Lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions 

  1. 1. Wash and scrub the lemons thoroughly.
  2. 2. Cut the lemons into quarters, but not all the way through, so they stay connected at the base.
  3. 3. Pack the lemons with kosher salt and place them in a sterilized jar.
  4. 4. Press the lemons down to release their juices and add freshly squeezed lemon juice to cover them.
  5. 5. Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 30 days, shaking the jar daily to redistribute the salt and juice.
