Ingredients

  1. 🍋 Lemon
  2. Salt (20% of the quantity of lemons)
  3. Lemon juice (additional)
  4. Salt (additional, 20% of the quantity of lemon juice)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sterilize your jar by boiling.

  2. 2

    Wash lemons with salt. If lemons are waxed, then peel. (I used non-waxed organic ones.

  3. 3

    Cut lemons as you like.

  4. 4

    Place one teaspoon of salt and pack lemons in a jar. Push them down to put all lemons in a jar.

  5. 5

    On the top place all salt.

  6. 6

    Seal the jar and shake it each day so that salt and the juice from lemons mix well.

  7. 7
  8. 8

    A few days later if the juice of lemon was not enough to cover the lemon, add additional lemon juice and salt.

  9. 9

    I personally use from day 3, but some say a week after or a month later. It's up to your preference. When I use, I rinse the lemon with running water, cut into small pieces and add into dressing for salad or add for grilled chicken instead of salt.

  10. 10

    I used for tofu dish!
