Preserved Lemons are a common flavoring agent in Moroccan cuisine,

particularly in very slow braises known as tagines. They are also

found as an unusual cocktail garnish.

Poke holes in the lemons with a sharp knife. Pack them in an

airtight jar, separating them from one another with salt. Cover the

jar, store in a dark place for a day. If the lemons have not

released enough liquid to cover, add salt and reseal.

 

Store in a cool dark place for approximately two weeks. Refrigerate

afterwards.
