Brine the lemons at least a month before using. Store-bought preserved lemons are a fine substitute and are available online or at specialty-food stores.

6 cups coarse salt
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from 9 to 11 lemons)

Steps:

  • Cut a 3-inch-long, 1/2-inch-deep slit around the equator of each lemon. Pack 1 to 2 teaspoons salt into each slit. Pour 1/2 of the remaining salt into an airtight glass jar that fits the lemons snugly.
  • Pack lemons in jar. Pour lemon juice and the remaining salt over lemons. (The jar should be full.)
