It is important for the lemons to be completely submerged in lemon juice or they will quickly develop a white mold on top. If this happens, simply scoop off the mold with a spoon and add more lemon juice until the lemons are completely submerged. Also, it wouldn't hurt to add a couple pinches of sea salt to the top of the jar, just to keep up the concentration of salt, where nothing will grow,

After a few weeks, there will seem to be a cloudy liquid forming on the bottom of the jar. This is probably alright, since the lemon juice and salt are essentially breaking down the pectins and sugars of the lemons. When you are getting ready to use your preserved lemons, make sure to gently rinse them off prior to cutting,

The lime version is superb with curried lamb, grilled swordfish and mango chutney, or in pineapple and chile salsa. I have been looking for this recipe since returning from Tonga where I owned a bistro for 10 years. The Fiji Indian lady who made this for me would not share her recipe. I'm thrilled I can now duplicate it for myown dishes.
