Sig's Moroccan preserved lemons

Put two tablespoons of salt into bottom of sterilized jar.

Hold lemon over plate to catch juice,cut it as if to quarter it but do not cut through, leave joined, carefully remove pips with toothpick,add one tablespoon of salt into cut,then close lemon and place in jar, continue until all lemons are in jar packing them tightly and pressing them down gently until jar is full.

Now squeeze the juice of a whole lemon and the collected juice into jar,sprinkle over some more salt to slightly cover top.Top up with the boiled water to cover lemons.Close jar tightly,keep in a relative warmish place for about 3-4 weeks.

If you store them longer a white film might appear, this is harmless, just rinse off.
