How to make Preserved Lemon
Place lemon quarters in a saucepan.
Add the salt and water, and bring to a boil.
When boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.
Simmer until lemon rinds are soft.
Drain and cool the lemons.
Trim the lemon rinds by cutting away all the lemon and white parts under the rinds.
Use the yellow part of the rind in your dishes.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the lemons are fully submerged in water while simmering for even cooking.
Preserved lemons can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
