Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

Wash the lemons well with soap to remove any wax.

step 2

Slice lemons into 1 cm thickness slices.

step 3

Remove all the seeds.

step 4

Lightly coat each slice with salt on both sides. Shake off the excess of salt from the lemons.

step 5

Layer all the lemons tightly in a clean jar. Press down each layer with your hands, releasing some of the juice so that it covers the lemons almost to the top (It’s important that the lemons reach almost to the top of the jar).

step 6

Cover the lemons with lemon juice if needed.

step 7

Close and seal the jar.

step 8

After two days, flip the jar upside down.

step 9

After four days, you can enjoy the lemons, either as is or blend them into a pickled lemon paste. You can keep the jar outside, but after opening, store it in the refrigerator!
