Steps:
- Wash and dry lemons. Cut into quarters, leaving them connected at stem end. Transfer to a large bowl, squeezing each quarter into bowl as you go. Add salt, and toss.
- Arrange lemons and salt in a one-quart jar, layering with peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaves. Add all the lemon juice from the bowl. Add enough freshly squeezed lemon juice to cover lemons. Cover, and keep in a cool, dry place, such as the refrigerator, for 2 weeks, shaking every day to redistribute salt and help it dissolve.
- To use, discard the flesh from the center of each lemon wedge, rinse under cold water, and pat dry. Store the lemons in the refrigerator. Will keep about 6 months.
