4. How to store whole lemons
To preserve whole lemons, you can make confit lemons with salt. However, you should only use citrus fruits that are not treated with chemical products and are organic. Soak the lemons in cold water overnight, then dry them and, using a knife, cut them crosswise, but without cutting them all the way through. Rub them with coarse salt, place them in an airtight jar, and cover everything with coarse salt. Close the jar tightly and store them in a dry, cool place, away from light and heat. They'll be ready in about a month: you can use them to enhance meat and fish dishes, sauces, or even to flavor desserts and herbal teas.
