    | 1. Quarter lemons lengthwise and put in a noncorrosive airtight container. | 2. Freeze for 8 hours. | 3. Add 1 tablespoon rock/kosher salt per lemon(in this case 4 Tbsp.). | 4. Store airtight at room temperature for 6 days; shake occasionally. Use as suggested in your recipes. | 5. To store, chill up to 1 year sealed well (color *can* darken a bit, fine to use). I use organic lemons that are unwaxed. | 6. PLEASE do not use waxed lemons! | 7. When ready to use rinse well under running cold running water and remove the pulp with a sharp knife, discarding. The rind is all of a preserved lemon which is used and can be left quartered or julienned. | 8. The "COOKING TIME" is "THE FREEZING AND CURING TIME.". | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
