4. Plate it with sliced avocado and Naan or pita bread.

Serve with a nice Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling wine.

Preserved Meyer Lemons

Ingredients:

8-10 Meyer Lemons, cleaned. You can use conventional lemons but Meyer’s have a softer more delicate flavor and frankly are awesome.
1 cup kosher salt- don’t be afraid of the amount of salt
Fresh bay leaves- or rosemary
Extra lemon juice
Jar- a mason jar works fine but you may want to pick something a little fancier.

1. Sterilize the jars in boiling water
2. Cut the lemons into quarters and cover generously with salt
3. Add 2 tbsp of salt to the bottom of the jar
4. Layer the lemons in the jar, pushing them down as you go so the juice is extracted. Add bay leaves to each layer and top with more salt.
5. Continue to pack as many lemons in the jar as you can and top with the remaining salt. If the lemon liquid is not covering lemons add a little fresh lemon juice. Tightly seal the lid.
6. Leave the lemons out in a cool dark place. Occasionally turning the jar upside down. They can be used after a week but the longer to ferment the better. After the first use then store them in the refrigerator.

To use- rinse the lemon and remove the pulp if desired.
Slice into thin pieces. Add to salads. Use in marinades. Mix with assorted olives.
Don’t be afraid to experiment – it also makes a great gift!
