I use Tom Colicchio's recipe: Blanch six lemons and slice them thin,
remving the seeds. Mix 1/3 cup kosher salt with 3 Tblsp sugar. Chop 2
shallots and two cloves of garlic. Layer each ingredient in turn in a
glass container. Refrigerate for about a week, turning daily to mix
the ingredients and the juice.
