Big Bob Rind of Lemon
- 10 ripe organic lemons, washed thoroughly
- water
- 3 cups organic cider vinegar
- Cut the lemons in half and squeeze all the juice out of them.
- Save both the juice and the lemon rind.
- Use the fresh lemon juice to make a salad dressing, ice tea, freeze it, or whatever you might fancy.
- It isn't part of this recipe, but it would be a waste to throw it away.
- Place the lemon rinds in a pot and cover completely with cold water.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and leave to simmer for 35-40 minutes with a lid on.
- Remove the lemon rinds from the water, which has now become lemon stock, and leave to drain and cool in a colander.
- Remember to collect the stock that runs off the lemon rinds.
- Strain the lemon stock through a fine-meshed sieve to remove any pips, debris, and impurities.
- Carefully scrape out any remaining pips, membranes, or lemon flesh from the rinds, so that only the rind itself and the innermost layer of pith is left.
- Place the cleaned lemon rinds in a clean container, cover with organic cider vinegar, and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before using.
