I am still using the preserved lemons I prepared in 2019. They’re delicious. I make a pasta dish with asparagus, and boil heavy cream with some vermouth and sliced preserved lemon. If you use the meat and rind, it goes fantastic in a vinaigrette for an asparagus salad. 😊
Preserved lemon is a staple in Louisiana cooking; try this with rosemarry and blueberry, finished product is great for an amazing sauce on a cheese cake or vanilla ice cream, or try it in a coctail like 1 oz gin 2 oz syrup from preserves lemon 4 oz champagne on rocks garnish with a lemon and rosemary. Also, roasting the peppercorns before adding them to the jar really helps bring out the flavor
I'm Southern Cal born and raised. A must have tree for me is a Meyer Lemon! Fruit is ripe at Christmas here! Great in so many recipes!! I zest them...juice them... and I always have orders for my home preserved Meyer lemons and lemon syrup.......the jars look specially pretty on the pantry shelves!
HumbleHalfAcre, would you be willing to share seeds? I had two Meyer lemon trees in my dining room for years when I lived in Wisconsin, and I miss them. One of the most beautiful hybrids on the planet.
OMGosh, SAME here! When I was little there was some kind of blight that wiped out nearly ALL our crops in the state & they never really came back fully. They're hardy plants/trees; however, the demand isn't as high as it once was bc current generations simply aren't familiar with just how *DELICIOUS, SWEET & JUICY* the Meyer Lemons are! We had a small bush when I was growing up, then when my parents moved, they transplanted it into our larger yard for our then two kids, soon to be four. It got HUGE & we had year-round lemons! The kids made lemonade all the time & even ate them fresh off the tree~ just peel & eat. It got to be a running joke that every pot-luck & party we went to we were REQUIRED to bring along at LEAST 5-GALLONS of Freshly made Lemonade, LOL! Awesome "meeting" a fellow SoCal native here~ *MANY Blessings to You & Yours!*
I have been doing this for years. I leave mine in the pantry for up to 2 years. They get gelatinous and even more amazing. But, I rinse them off to get some of the salt off. I also use a lot more salt than you do. And, it is a good policy to cut of the stem ends to avoid putting any dirt that may be embedded in that stem end.
@@GermanischeTutorials thanks for answering! I'm familiar with lactofermentation with kraut and pickles and they are kept in the fridge when done fermenting so I was really curious. I love lemons and will be doing this today!
@@charitysmith5245 I also make pickles right now , fermenting now for over a week in a vacuum sealed bag, salt concentration 3%, no water added (at room temperature).. Afterek I tried and it was just a little fermented so I moved it into a glass jar with water (salt concentration 3%). It's now fermenting further at room temperature (I'm trying every 3-5 days).
@@GermanischeTutorials nice! I am anxiously awaiting getting my garden going and having cucumbers coming out of my ears so I cant start new batches. They went fast! I'm about to make some kraut from my winter cabbages. Always something to ferment!
Another great video!! I'm learning so much and can't wait to try this!! Your sweet daughter is adorable! I love that you are passing down these skills to the younger ones. Our world today needs this more than ever. God bless you❤️
We eat so much of these in my family. And my grandma is currently making a huge batch for everyone. Can't wait to have mine! (I like to make it myself, but I like it even more when it's done with my grandmother's love)! Thanks Caroline xxx
Thanks Carolyn! I have been using the salty lemon brine to add to pickles, both fermented and water bath canned. It is so tasty. I plan to mince up some of the peel also from now on. Lemon adds so much flavour to sauerkraut (along with apple) that my neighbour and some of her friends wanted the recipe. Also I prepared some mandarine oranges in this way and plan to try it in some beet pickles, as i added lemon to the last batch with great results.
What a sweet little helper. This is the first time I hear about fermenting lemons and it sounds great! I've done your cabbage with the apple and red peppers and it is soooooo good. I have everything to make another batch. So, guess what I will be trying next, LEMONS! Thanks so much.
I want to try fermenting after watching your videos. I'm growing cabbage here in Florida last year I was too scared to try and make sauerkraut but I am going try it. I will buy some lemons and try them too.
I’ve never done this but as we have a lemon tree with its first year of production I will try it. However I just want to say I love eating fresh lemon rind, it is often actually sweet.
Great instructive video many thanks. Today I made my own batch with cinnamon, star anise, chilis and Sichuan pepper. I am very curious how they will taste. Greetings from Berlin Germany.
Great lacto-pickle, simple as sauerkraut. Pickled lemons are recommended in the simple Lebanese dish "mujadarra" (lentils, rice and caramelised onions). To those fussing about salt and tap water I promise, using normal table salt and tap water is safe and works absolutely fine.
Oh my goodness, Carolyn!! I just used the lemon with baked chicken, onions, carrots and herbs. I used some of the juices with the cut up lemon and it was awesome!!! I didn't have to use much additional salt. Thank you and will be making this again with meyer and regular lemon.
I take mine and put several complete lemons into a blender and turn them into lemon juice and add 2 tbls. to my daily water. Mega Vitamin C, the complete C complex not that synthetic Ascorbic Acid stuff.
I'm in southern California and I can tell you that lemons are in season here all year! lol. Only the sweet Meyer Lemons have a season, the regular Eureka lemon bears fruit year round.
Lazy Bee now it makes sense! I have a Meyer Lemon tree in Texas. I didn’t understand how others, especially in California, were getting lemons in the summer. I’m going keep my eyes open for a Eureka lemon tree at the next fruit tree sale. Thank you!
If you leave a regular canning jar flat and ring loose, the flat acts as a one way valve, releasing the CO2 produced by the bacteria during fermentation. I like to burp my preserved fruits, sauerkraut and kimchi vegetables for at least the first week when the fermentation is in high gear, so it doesn't make a mess (make sure you put the jars in a container to catch any drips). I suspect her processing with a tight lid is slowed by the acidity of the lemon juice and only stays at room temperature for 3-4 days.
CAROLYN - once you've opened the jar and started using the lemons you'll need to refrigerate them - correct? BUT - if you keep the lemons weighted down, so that they are below the brine level, is it okay to store the jar unrefrigerated?
She comments at 9 minutes that after three days, the lemons go in the fridge or a cold storage at 55F or so. I understand from that that we are supposed to stop the fermentation at that point.
@@azurer7507 with that low amount if salt, yes. If you use lots more salt, as tgey do worldwide, then can be kept in cool spot( contents always submerged)for much longer...they will be gone by then😆
I did this several months ago and I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how to use them. I wonder if they would taste good chopped up and added to cooked rice or something? This isn't a new story for me--making things that are a new idea and then not knowing how to use them. I see you have a cookbook for sale on Amazon, Carolyn!!! Exciting! I think you are a great teacher and am going to get your book. BTW, your sweet pea with you in this video is such a good helper and is cute as can be.
+Country Frau Hi there... I actually just filmed a video on making a roasted chicken in the Dutch oven and then making a preserved lemon and thyme reduction sauce out to the pan juices... so yummy! Should be out within the month. And thank you! 😊
Can you use them to make sweets, ex: pie, cake, frosting and brownies? I have never tried this but can hardly wait to do this. Our Aldi store runs sales on fresh lemons all the time. Just love your RUclips instructionals. I do believe that we have lost touch with old times ways of being self reliant. We spent to much money on fast food that is not good for us.
Please may you do some videos where you cook with your preserved products, showing us the methods? I would love to know what to do with all of the preserved products! :)
+Kitty Bradley I have one done for these lemons already! Roasted chicken with a preserved lemon and thyme reduction sauce... keep an eye out for it in the next few weeks!
Hello ^^, preserved lemons are very common in northern african cooking (tajines, chermoulas...). My favorite recipe is to make a tajine ( =a stew) with chiken, preserved lemon and green olives. I knew your recipe before, I learned to add a bit of olive oil on top. The only thing that annoys me with this recipe is that lemons tends oxide after several months. There still absolutely delicicious but...not so pretty. Here is my recipe to keep them all bright yellow : 1 I cut my lemons in slices and leave them to macerate in salt for 12h. 2. I steam cook them for 4 minutes 3. I put the steamed lemon slices in a jar with spices, fill with olive oil and let them macerate for at least a month.
This is exactly how Indians traditionally preserve lemons. They are great with bread or pita bread. They last for years. They are great for nausea associated with pregnancy.
Do you have to burp the jar to keep the pressure from busting the jar? I have 4 lemon trees that are about to ripen in January and February, this will be great to try. Also have grapefruit, tangelo, lime and orange trees, can I do the same with them? Once stored in the pantry do you need to continue to turn, or burp them or what? how long will they be good in the pantry?
I read about preserved lemons on a food blog over a year ago, before I was into ferments or anything homesteadish, and was so intrigued. I made up a jar of my own last Father's Day. After 5 days on the counter, I stuck it in the fridge, as instructed, and have yet to use them! Haha! I totally forgot all about them! I'll have to find the recipe I needed them for and finally make it happen. 😆
Me, too! Ha! Made 'em and they are sitting in the fridge long term because I don't know what in the heck to do with them. Guess I'd better do a recipe search. Hope you find some good ways, too! Bon Appetit!

Country Frau I just cut up a few, used some of the brine and baked with chicken and veggies...my goodness it was awesome with yellow rice!! Yes, I left the meat on the peel and sliced that also...i believe it helped with the lemony punch throughout the dish
I happen to have familcholesteria and have looked at this problem all my life. I just found out what to do. I have always kept my weight a little below normal and don't ever smoke or drink. My diet has been flawless. I just found out that lemon peel is beneficial for this nasty family inherited, rare condition. Before getting under the knife, I will at least give it a try. Pray for me!

From Southern California. I have lemons all year. I use them for cooking and salad dressing but give most to friends. Will try this for sure.

I once made a jar of fermented lemons and they were sooooo good. I pureed some in a food processor to make a delicious sauce!!
I just made mine & I'm so excited to use them!! A month is a really long time... I might crack it open in 2 weeks LOL, I seriously LOVE LEMONS

Carolyn, is it possible to preserve the whole lemon without cutting it; like you did with the limes?
