Ingredients
10
fresh lemons
1
cup
salt
1/4
cup
Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the lemons into 4 without cuting them all way down, they should remain attached in the base like a flower.
Stuff each lemon with salt, then pack them tightly into a glass jar. They should be tightly packed.
Pour the oil on top, then seal the jar, and let it sit for at least 2 months on the cupboard.
The salt will bring out the juice from the lemon, and cook it while the oil will help preserve it and give it an amazing taste.
The more you let the lemons frement, the longer they will cook, and the more their taste will become even more concentrated.
Once you open the jar, store it in the fridge and enjoy!
