Lemons are in season for much of the southern part of the country. But they only last so long...

These tangy, salty, sour treats should be on everyone’s shelf to brighten up any meal. They turn pasta, chicken, fish, salads and other meals into a gourmet treat.

In this video, Carolyn shows you how to turn some simple lemons and salt into a gourmet seasoning in the kitchen, while in the process preserving your lemons for the year.

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 like Brianna's apron and the fact that she's wearing one. I always wore an apron in the kitchen with my Mom...and I still do today. With pockets!

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. 😊

Your daughter is a is a powerful force!

Excellent, concise, and here I am, an old cook, and I never even thought about making my own preserved lemons. With gratitude to you--

[terriebruner]

What a sweetheart! Mom's little lady. She looks just like you!

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.

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 jars look specially pretty on the pantry shelves!

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 good. I pureed some in a food processor to make a delicious sauce!!

[kathyjames]

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.

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

[jadeb]

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

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❤️

[SimplyEastTexas]

Thank you. I have two small lemon trees and I now can preserve them.

[shannonjohnston]

These fermented lemons sound lovely! I can't wait to make them! Thank you Carolyn!

[Mars_]

Oh my gosh. She's so adorable! Reminds me of my daughter's at that age! 🥰

[annatroemel]

I use salted lemons to make lemonade in summer time. It’s very refreshing with a salty sweet (one needs to add sugar) lemonade taste.

[sansomspressurecleaningpoo]

I’m in Florida. I’m gonna go right outside and pick some. I think this will be good for Lemon Pepper Chicken . thanks for sharing

[sharonross]

Hi Carolyn. I am going to ferment lemons now that you shared this video. Thank you. God Bless
