I found this recipe and thought I might try it. As a beginner cook, I am not sure how to use them in a recipe. Any suggestions?

I give this a 1 star because it doesn't say how long to preserve them before you use them. I only had them in the frig. for maybe a week. When I added them to the recipe it made the dish very salty and bitter (yes I did rinse them. I had to dilute w/water and add more spices to fix but still not 100% what it should be. Next time I will leave in frig. for at least a month and then try the recipe again.

For the person from Cortlandt Manor - I believe that most recipes using preserved lemons only use the lemon rind (not the flesh, so you probably wouldn't be able to use your lemons for this purpose. How about lemonade? I just made some fresh lemonade, and it was so much better than the commercial stuff.

This is in response to Isabel's question. Though the video and recipe does not state whether or not you put the liquid in with the lemons, I reviewed the video several times and determined that you need to use a small enough jar to fill it near the rim with the lemons. Then you add just enough of the liquid to cover. This is a great recipe and perfect for gift giving for any occasion.

Does anyone know if you can preserve the lemons once the zest is removed? I zest dozens of lemons for use in my biscotti business. Would love to be able to save the fruit afterwards.

Was online to find this recipe, then remembered I had recorded it for the tajine recipe. They had the clip with the recipe for the lemons. They rinsed the lemons lightly with water before they used them. The pulp was scraped off and used in the marinade. Then they julienned the peel and put it in the sauce. Gave me the impression that you could use them in any marinade. I think I would even lightly chop the pulp and zest some of the rind and make a lemon/vinegar/oil salad dressing. Just remember to rinse the salt off. The guest on the show used a pint canning jar, sterilized, for the 2 lemons after they baked. They were packed tigthty and refrigerated. Oh, the possibilities!

Enjoyed the recipe. For Jan from Utah regarding uses for Preserved Lemons, when you enter "preserved lemons" under search terms, this web sight has 53 recipes and Epicurious has over 90. Just go ahead and make them because it is cheap and have a great time creating, especially if you love lemons as I do. Mine are in the oven now.

I know the recipe says the preserved lemons can be stored in the fridge, but I would like to know if they can be canned for longer storage. Fridge space is always at a premium at my house. Also I would like to give some as gifts and would be taking them for about a 5 hour car ride when I deliver them for Christmas.

Does anybody know if your have to put the lemons into the jar with the cooking liquid or just the lemons? The recipe doesn't says.

Thanks
