Instructions

Quarter lemons. For each pint canning jar, add 1 tablespoon of salt. Sprinkle salt on the lemon quarters. Pack tightly into jar, squeezing lemons to release juice. Sprinkle with more salt. Add water as needed (make sure lemons are covered). Seal the jar tightly, shake gently to mix up ingredients. You can also simmer jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to seal the jar even tighter. Sit in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. Every couple of days turn jar upside down until lemon rinds are softened. To use, remove lemon from jar, scrape away pulp and seeds. Thinly slice lemon rind to use in dishes. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 months. Do not use if any mold has formed on the rim of jar.
