Ingredients
- 6-8 lemons
- 1/2 cup coarse kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 1-2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Choose a large, wide-mouthed glass jar and make sure it is clean.
- Scrub and clean all of the lemons
- Cut each lemon into quarters, stopping just below the bottom, so they stay intact, but spread out like a star.
- Place the salt and sugar into a bowl and place the lemons into the bowl, pressing the grainy mixture into the lemon flesh and grinding it in.
- Transfer the lemons to the prepared jar. You may have to smoosh them in for them to fit.
- Add the peppercorns, bay leaf and remaining salt and sugar mixture.
- Fill the jar the rest of the way with water, enough to cover the top lemon.
- Seal with the lid and shake a few times.
- Place into the refrigerator or on a cool, dry counter. Flip upside down every 3-4 days.
- After 3-4 weeks, open the jar and add your preserved lemons to your favorite dish.
