- Add 1 tablespoon rock/kosher salt per lemon(in this case 4 Tbsp.
- ).
- Store airtight at room temperature for 6 days; shake occasionally.
- Use as suggested in your recipes.
- To store, chill up to 1 year sealed well (color *can* darken a bit, fine to use).
- I use organic lemons that are unwaxed.
- PLEASE do not use waxed lemons!
- When ready to use rinse well under running cold running water and remove the pulp with a sharp knife, discarding.
- The rind is all of a preserved lemon which is used and can be left quartered or julienned.
- The "COOKING TIME" is "THE FREEZING AND CURING TIME.
