Nothing like a jar of pickled lemons to upgrade your food. The craft of pickling is special because of the expectation of tasting from the jars that stand and wait for the reopening. Every time you make the recipe the flavors are different, if you make it with paprika, or lemons, or any other ingredient, depending on the season. You can add the pickled goods to any dish: slice of bread with cheese, fish stew, fried eggplants, and many more dishes.I love this recipe because it realy esay to make,it can stay in the fridge for a few months, it is important to put over the lemon enough oil that can keep the jar of lemons.
