    My Best Preserved Lemons, This is more a technique than amounts recipe though the ratio of salt to lemon must be measured While the bottles and jars of preserved lemons in the souk are wonderful to look at, they are by in large for the tourists and at times are unhealthy Nearly every Moroccan home which uses preserved lemon makes it’s own preserved lemons and these quarters are the most common as they are ready prepared to use and serve The entire lemon piece can be used in some recipes though the most common is to use only the rind Please friends do not ask about the time I tried to eat a preserved lemon quarter as is!! Preserved lemons lend a wonderful tangysalt flavour to especially chicken and gorgeous with fish and soups! Make sure that when using you remove the pulp using only the rind Enjoy! c 2003, Did these for a dinner party my boss was having last week I needed pickled lemons in a hurry and had about a week to get them This recipe worked out fabulously! Very easy to do with excellent results Thanks!, I have made my first preserved lemons on 22 November 2005 They are so easy to make Now I have to wait to taste them
