South African Lemon Pickle

1. 1

   You need clean bottling jars for this. You need about 5 - 6 1-cup jars or 3 larger ones. Put into a cold oven, then heat oven 325 deg C/160 deg F and leave until needed.

2. 2

   Halve the lemons, then slice into thin slices. Remove pips.

3. 3

   Put the rest of the ingredients in a fairly big pot with a thick bottom, stir well, and bring to boiling.

4. 4

   Boil for about 12 minutes, then add the lemon slices. Stir well once and pull from heat.

5. 5

   Carefully take your sterilised bottles from the oven (best is to put them straight on to a metal oven tin).

6. 6

   With a slotted spoon, ladle the lemon pieces into the jars, the fill up with the liquid, to cover the lemon slices.

7. 7

   Very carefully, using oven gloves, wipe spills off the bottle necks with a damp cloth.

8. 8

   Seal bottles with their tops.

9. 9

   Cool, wipe completely clean, label, and leave for 2 weeks before using.
