This method calls for a two-phase process. During the first phase, scored lemons stuffed with salt sit for a week in a Mason jar. During the second phase, rosemary, chile, lemon juice and olive oil are added to the jar and everything mingles together for three more weeks.

Cooking Instructions

Step 1
Before starting, find a jar large enough to accommodate all of the lemons snugly—I used a 2-quart jar. To sterilize it, fill it with boiling water, leave for a minute, and then empty it. Allow it to dry out naturally without wiping it so it remains sterilized.
Step 2
Wash the Lemons (6) and cut a deep cross all the way from the top to within 3/4 inch from the base.
Step 3
Stuff the lemons with Coarse Sea Salt (1/3 cup) and place in the jar.
Step 4
Push the lemons in tightly so they are squeezed together snugly. Seal the jar and leave in a cool spot for at least a week.
Step 5
After the initial period, remove the lid and press the lemons as hard as you can to squeeze out as much of the juice as possible.
Step 6
Add the Fresh Rosemary (2 sprigs) , Red Chili Pepper (1) , and lemon juice if using, and cover with a thin layer of Olive Oil (as needed) .
Step 7
Seal the jar and leave in a cool place for at least 4 weeks. The longer you leave them, the better the flavor. Enjoy!
