Instructions
-
Choose yellow lemons, not green ones. Wash them very well.
-
Boil the lemons for only ten minutes. Discard the boiling water.
-
Soak the boiled lemons in clean water for at least 12 hours. Change the water every 4 hours.
-
For every cup of boiled and cooled water, add one large tablespoon of salt. If you use 4 cups of water, use 4 tablespoons of salt and one coffee cup of vinegar.
-
Place the boiled and soaked lemons in a clean glass jar.
-
Add green chili peppers if desired, as they give a very nice flavor. If you want it spicier, add dried as desired.
-
Pour the prepared brine (water, salt, and vinegar) over the lemons, ensuring they are well submerged.
-
Close the jar tightly. Open it for the first time after 4 days, not less than that.
-
After exactly one week, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
