WHAT ARE PRESERVED LEMONS ?
They are fresh lemons that have been partially sliced into quarters lengthways and as many pips removed as is possible and then coarse salt sprinkled onto the flesh of the lemon .
Then close the fruit together and pack the lemons tightly into a sterilised glass jar ..
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to cover the fruit for 6 weeks .
WHY PRESERVE LEMONS ?
The salt draws out the juice of the lemon and softens the zest .
Now you have zest that will liven up those spring and summer salads and a myriad of savoury dishes especially chicken dishes ....
