Instructions: (Makes 1 serving)

• Remove stems from lemons.
• In large saucepan, cook lemons in boiling water to cover for 1 minute.
• Drain water and rub lemons dry with paper toweling.
• Cut lemons in quarters lengthwise, from blossom end to 1/2 inch of stem end, cutting almost through but leaving quarters attached.
• Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons salt between lemon quarters, and reassemble lemons.
• Pack lemons into sterilized wide-mouth 1-quart jar, pressing down on lemons to release some of their juice, and packing as tightly as possible.
• Sprinkle remaining salt over lemons in jar. Add enough lemon juice to cover lemons.
• Cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 weeks.
• Shake once a day until salt is dissolved, and push lemon down into liquid to keep covered.
