salty


stuffing lemons with salt

I have been preserving lemons (not all of the time). It is absurdly easy: you slit them in four, stuff them with salt and whack them into a jar. If you are me you also forget to check that they will fit through the jar top and end up with lemon juice all over your face. After that you watch with fascination as the jar fills with lemon juice. They are ready to be used in delicious Moroccan type recipes after a couple of weeks and keep for a year, so don't be at all surprised if you get them for Christmas.
