Moroccan Preserved Lemons
The lemons have to be cured for at least 1 month but then they will keep for many months in the fridge, where their flavor intensifies over time. They are preserved whole but only the peel is used in cooking, the flesh is discarded. If possible, use organic lemons.

Cook's Notes:
Depending on your jar size and the size of the lemons, you might be able to fit in more lemons.
Lemons are ready to be used after 1 month. Transfer to the refrigerator at that point. They will keep in the fridge for at least 1 year. The brine will turn cloudy, which is fine, but if there is mold, bubbles, or a foul smell, discard the entire batch.
