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.
Artisan Cheese and Prosciutto. This is a blog about making cheese and preserving meat at home. We will make all kinds of cheeses together including soft-ripened, cheddar, stilton, feta and a tomme. We will also cover basic charcuterie or the art of preserving meat using salt and smoke. We will make prosciutto from ham and duck breast, make our own bacon and even learn how to make sausages and cure them. I don't claim to be an expert in any of this, but please join me for the learning and fun.
