Do you make your own preserved lemons? Do the become really salty?

I have enjoyed all of the Moroccan recipes that I have made from
Christine Benlafquih but one thing puzzles me. When we were in Morocco
recently nearly every tagine and savory dish contained cumin. I brought
some home along with saffron but I have not run across any cumin in her
recipes. I love the Moroccan cumin, it is much more flavorful than the
Mexican version. Do you use much of it in your Moroccan recipes?
