LEMON AND GARLIC CLOVES IN A JAR – A WINTER SOLUTION TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DISHES
As winter sets in, the absence of fresh produce can be a challenge for home cooks seeking to infuse their dishes with vibrant flavors. However, a solution lies in the age-old technique of preserving lemons and garlic cloves in a jar. This culinary preservation method not only ensures a readily available source of bright, zesty lemons and pungent garlic throughout the colder months but also opens up a world of possibilities for enhancing a wide range of recipes.
THE METHOD:
Selecting the Ingredients: To embark on this culinary journey, start with fresh, unwaxed lemons and firm, unblemished garlic bulbs. Look for lemons with bright, unblemished skins, as these will yield the best results.
Preparing the Lemons: Wash and thoroughly dry the lemons. Cut them into quarters, lengthwise, stopping just short of the base so that the quarters remain attached.
Salting the Lemons: Generously sprinkle salt on the exposed flesh of the lemons. The salt acts as a preservative and also helps draw out the lemon juice.
Advertisement:Packing the Jar: Take a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight seal. Place a layer of coarse sea salt at the bottom of the jar, creating a bed for the lemons.
