Great article Hank – thank you! I’m guessing that you recommend sealing the Russian lemons as well, correct?

Hi – thanks for informative article, it was a great read. I want to try pickling some of our home grown lemons but they’re so big I can’t fit them into the jar whole. Is is really essential that they aren’t sliced right through? I think I’ll need to quarter them!

Just a comment about “being safe”. For the Eureka lemon, there are no known pathogens that could survive the acidity to cause illness. Lemons and salt were often used to preserve OTHER foods. The step of a water bath is not needed.

I was looking for a recipe on preserving lemons and came across your article. What great information and great reading. My mom has a Meyer lemon tree and i can’t wait to get a couple of Mason jars and surprise her! Although she’s old school (92 and going strong!) and she knows all about canning and preserving. She has some funky looking vinegar fermenting right now. It looks funky but has great flavor. Thank you so much for your contribution and I enjoy reading all the comments.

I love your web site and use it extensively as a yard-stick against most other recipes. This is especially so with game recipes. I am in the process of pickling some llemons using one of your recipes and was wondering if with the passage of time you might now be able to update the shelf life of the various processes. Keep up the good work, as you are greatly appreciated, in particular, by the more adventurous cooks.

I love preserved lemons and have made them for a few years now, but haven’t ever added any chilli or mustard seeds, garlic etc, but definitely will. Thanks for the research!
Don’t suppose you have any suggestions for unripe grapefruit? I’ve looked around the internet in vain. Apparently the Greeks do something…
