Preparation Guide
The Lemons
| INSTRUCTIONS
|
| Put lemons in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. At the same time combine all the other ingredients in the lemon recipe and bring them to a boil as well. Once the lemons have come to a boil, drain them in a colander and add them to the vinegar solution once it has boiled. Ideally, both should come to a boil at the same time and are mixed while both are still hot. Cool the lemons in the vinegar solution, and allow them to cure for 2 nights in it. Remove the lemons as you need them, scoop out the flesh and dice the rind. The lemons will keep for months in the brine.
