Step 4: Packing Up Place the lemons in the sterilized jar. As you layer them in, add the bay leaves and cloves of garlic between the lemons. These not only add an extra layer of preservation but also infuse the lemons with a delightful aroma and flavor.
Step 5: Seal and Store Once all the lemons are snugly packed in the jar, close the lid tightly. Now, store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The back of your pantry or a cupboard is an ideal spot.
And there you have it! A simple, fuss-free way to keep your lemons fresh for an incredibly long time. This method is not just practical but also adds a touch of gourmet flair to your kitchen. Enjoy your lemons in drinks, salads, or any recipe that calls for a hint of citrus. Happy cooking!
