Cómo preparar Overnight Preserved Lemons

Juice 6 lemons and set aside the juice (approximately 1 cup).
Halve the remaining 6 lemons and then quarter each half, leaving them attached at the stem end.
Pack approximately 2 teaspoons of coarse sea salt into the center of each lemon half. Gently reform the lemon halves and place in a large, resealable freezer bag.
Cover the lemons halfway with coarse sea salt (approximately 1/2 cup).
Add the reserved lemon juice to the bag.
Pack the lemons tightly in the bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Seal the bag tightly.
Freeze overnight (or for at least 12 hours).
Remove the lemons from the freezer and allow them to completely thaw.
Pack any unused lemons tightly into a clean mason jar, adding enough lemon juice and coarse sea salt to completely submerge the lemons.
Refrigerate until ready to use (at least 2 weeks for optimal flavor).
Before using, rinse the lemons thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
