Salted Lemon Recipe (with pictures and 3 steps). Ideally, use a green lemon, about the same size as a kumquat. I didn't have any, so I used one anyway.

Method

01
Step 1
Ideally, use limes that are about the same size as kumquats, but I couldn't find any, so I just used whatever I had.
02
Step 2
Scrub the lemons with salt and dry them. Clean the jar thoroughly, ensuring it's free of oil and water. Place a layer of salt at the bottom, then add the lemons, sprinkle more salt on top, and finally seal the jar with salt. The picture shows the jar after a few days; the lemons have released juice, and the green lemons have gradually changed color.

Step 3
This image took me two or three months to create.
