Conserve lemons by inserting
Although I consume a lot of lemons, it sometimes happens that I already buy the next net, although I still have a start. Before they mold me over time, I simply insert this net of lemons to make it last.
Here is a little guide:
- Let's go, so I wash the lemons thoroughly with hot water.
- Then halve and quarter as many lemons as fit in a mason jar. The others are only half-laid aside.
- Now I put 100 g salt in the glass. Press the lemons from which I have set aside in half.
- The juice is enough with a cucumber glass, (which I use as a preserving jar) so that the lemons are completely covered with the liquid (they must be completely covered).
- Now the glass is screwed on and shaken well once, and then left alone for a week at room temperature.
- When the week is over, the jar must be opened and the surface sealed with 5 tablespoons of oil. (The lid is now perforated with air holes.)
- Then put in the refrigerator.
The lemon pieces are now refrigerated for about 4 to 5 months.
