Makes 1kg Jar


INGREDIENTS:
 
12 lemons
250g coarse rock salt
Bay leaves
 
DIRECTIONS:
 
Juice 6 of the lemons.

Cut the stem ends off the remaining lemons.

With a sharp knife make deep incisions in each lemon through the pith.

The incisions gently spring open & you can stuff a little of the salt into each cut.

Push the lemons into a large sterilised jar, layering with the salt as you go.
 
Fold in the fresh bay leaves & pour the lemon juice over.

If there is not enough liquid, add some water.

Seal the jar & place somewhere cool & dark.

Turn the jar over every so often to distribute the salt.

You can also add whole cloves, coriander seeds, cinnamon sticks, mace pieces, fresh green peppercorns, thyme sprigs & rosemary branches.
