Did you know?

Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C. 1 cup of lemon juice contains 55 mg of vitamin C. Licking a lemon can stimulate saliva flow in people who suffer from a dry mouth.

Ingredients:

5 lemons
80 gram sea salt
4 whole cloves
4 cardamon pods
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups olive or canola oil

Method:

Wash and dry the lemons and then cut them into quarters lengthwise. Put the lemons in a colander placed over a bowl and sprinkle them evenly with salt. Leave them to stand for 24 hours till their skin softens and the juices run out of the lemons.

Now pack them into a sterilised jar with the spices and bay leaves. Completely cover the lemons with oil. Seal the jar and leave in the fridge for a month bekore using.

They can be enjoyed with dips, sprinkled over fish or in Greek salads.
