How to Make Lemon Pickle

Puree 1 kg lemons and 2 large onions with 100ml of the vinegar until completely smooth.
In a large pot, combine the lemon-onion puree with 500ml white wine vinegar, 250g sugar, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp mustard seeds, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the pickle has thickened to a spoonable consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
While still hot, carefully transfer the pickle into sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top. Seal tightly and let cool completely.
