Additional Recipes & Information

Morton Kosher Salt mellows out the bold, tart flavor from the natural lemon, giving the garnish a burst of fresh, sweet flavor.

Garnish Recipe ingredients:

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

Directions:

  1. Trim the ends of each lemon. Quarter each lemon, slicing them down just over 3⁄4 of the way leaving lemons attached at the end.
  2.  Pour one teaspoon of Morton kosher salt into the cavity of each lemon.
  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.
