reserved Pickled Lemons are a tart and salty treat. Not to mention, a fragrant fresh citrus aroma and flavor. In addition to adding a flavor component, it also adds a splash of color. Use pulp, rind, and pickling juices in recipes. In fact, it is a fragrant vintage Morrocan staple. This condiment will add so much punch to any dish. Use it as a condiment, seasoning, or garnish. Indeed, it adds umami, briny, salty, and citrus flavor. Not only does it add flavor but it adds a splash of color.Preserved Pickled Lemons on a chopping block with lemons to decorate

What Is This Condiment?:

Some like to call them Preserved Lemons while others call them Pickled Lemons they are the same thing. In fact, the lemons sit in a  salty briny solution. It is an ancient condiment and garnishes that adds a subtle tart, salty, and umami flavor to anything it is added to. Hence, they are like any pickle and have a slight bite to them. Simply chop the rind and add it to your favorite recipes.

How To Make The Condiment:

Nevertheless, this condiment is quick and easy to make. Cut lemons are packed into a salty solution. Allow the condiment to sit for three weeks before use. This condiment is highly versatile in that any citrus or combination of citruses can be used.

Preserved Pickled Lemons:

However, it is so quick and easy to make. The only setback is that you must wait three weeks before using it.  Moreover, this condiment has been around for centuries in Morocco. Consequently, it has expanded to other cultures and created new recipes. Indeed, there is no substitute for the intense fermented citrus flavor that comes from these lemons. Wait three weeks before using this condiment.

As a matter of fact, there are unlimited uses for this condiment. The only limitation is your imagination. Use syrup to flavor soups, dressings, or drinks. In conclusion, rinse off the lemon just before using it in any dish. Use with my Gluten-Free Chicken Tagine. Incidentally, pink salt can be found on Amazon.
