Steps

1

Sterilize your jar by boiling.
2

Wash lemons with salt. If lemons are waxed, then peel. (I used non-waxed organic ones.
3

Cut lemons as you like.
4

Place one teaspoon of salt and pack lemons in a jar. Push them down to put all lemons in a jar.
5

On the top place all salt.
6

Seal the jar and shake it each day so that salt and the juice from lemons mix well.

8

A few days later if the juice of lemon was not enough to cover the lemon, add additional lemon juice and salt.

I personally use from day 3, but some say a week after or a month later. It's up to your preference. When I use, I rinse the lemon with running water, cut into small pieces and add into dressing for salad or add for grilled chicken instead of salt.
