These are fun to make and they add a very cleansing flavor to Moroccan dishes. You may be able to buy these in a Middle Eastern market, but do not confuse them with Indian Lemon Pickles. They are quite different.

1. Rub a little bit of salt inside each of the quartered lemons. Pack them tightly inside of a 1-quart glass jar.
|
2. Add any remaining salt and enough lemon juice to completely cover the lemons.
|
3. Seal the jar. Let stand 14 days at room temperature, inverting the jar every day.
|
4. Before using, rinse each lemon in water. Store covered in the refrigerator. Will keep indefinitely.
