Como fazer Preserved Fresh Lemons
- Wash and thoroughly scrub 1kg (approximately 6-8) unwaxed lemons.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each lemon from top to bottom, but not completely through; leave about ½ inch at the bottom intact.
- Generously salt the lemons, using approximately 50g coarse sea salt, packing the salt into every slit and ensuring each surface is coated.
- Place the salted lemons in a large, clean glass jar. Pack them tightly, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Add 1 cup of coarse sea salt to the jar to cover the top of the lemons.
- Pour over 400ml extra virgin olive oil so that the lemons are fully submerged.
- Seal the jar tightly with an airtight lid.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks, preferably up to 6. The longer they cure, the more intense the flavor will become.
- After 4 weeks, check to see if the lemons are soft and the oil is clear. If not, continue to store until ready. Once cured, refrigerate to extend shelf life.
