Recipe Introduction


Source: "A Feast of Fruits"


List of Ingredients




6 lemons, about 1 3/4 pounds
1/2 cup coarse salt
One 1-inch stick cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 whole cloves
1 bay leaf

Recipe



Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the lemons, returnthe water to a boil, and cook 3 minutes. Drain, drop the lemons into cold water, changing it once or twice to cool the lemons; drain again and dry. Stand the lemons
on end and cut lengthwise nearly into quarters so that they open out but remain attached at one end. Spread each open and sprinkle liberally with The salt; close it up and pack it in a wide-mouth 2-quart preserving jar, or two 1-quart jars, pressing to squeeze out some of the juice. Continue
with the remaining lemons. Add the spices to the jar (or jars), along with the remaining salt, and pour in fresh boiling water up to the top. Wait until all the bubbles have risen, then seal and sterilize. Store at least 1 month in a cool, dry place. To use, rinse the lemons and quarter, slice,
or chop them with or without the pulp. Refrigerate after opening.

Makes 6 preserved lemons.
