Citrons Confits

1. 1

   Cut off the very ends of each lemon.

2. 2

   Cut each one lengthwise into quarters, cutting to but not through the opposite end.

3. 3

   Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt into the cut sides of each lemon.

4. 4

   Put the lemons in a large jar (its fine if you have to squeeze them in, because they will shrink), and cover completely with lemon juice.

5. 5

   Let sit for a day.

6. 6

   The next day, if they are not covered with lemon juice, pour a thin film of olive oil over the lemons.

   Before using, scrape off the pulp if desired.
