  • 12 Lemons
  • 6 Tbsp. Morton Kosher Salt  
  • 1 cup Lemon juice – fresh

  3. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons of Morton kosher salt in the bottom of a glass mason jar.

  4. Place lemons in the jar, pressing down the lemons to allow the juice to begin filling the jar.

  5. The jar should be halfway filled with lemon juice. If needed, use additional lemon juice to bring it to the halfway point.

  6. Screw the lid on and let it sit at room temperature for 48 hours, shaking it and rotating the jar upside down/right side up a few times.
