How to make Lemon Confit and Lemon Flavored Salt

In today's blog, something fun and very easy. It is Lemon Confit and the very first thing I did for charcuterie. It is so straight forward I won't do a video about it. Here is what you do.

Ingredients
12 Lemons
1 Box Morton's Kosher Salt
Non-reactive container big enough to hold the lemons and salt

Method
1) Scrub 12 Lemons and dry them.
2) Cut them in half.
3) Pour 1 inch of salt in the container
4) Add the lemons
5) Cover the lemons with remaining salt
6) Store in a dark place for at least a month.

How to use

Simply take out a lemon, cut it in half, remove the pulp and pith and finely slice the rind. Use the rind in salads, stews or anything else you like. The salt that has been used to cure the lemons will be lemon flavored itself and is great in many dishes.
