They're wonderful in this citrus jelly (either with regular oranges
or blood oranges. Here's a batch I made with blood oranges:

Hi.

I would recommend making salt-preserved lemons. Here is one recipe:
http://www.elise.com/recipes/archive...ved_lemons.php
You can use them sliced thinly in pilafs, salads, tagine dishes
(http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/

batch last winter and they're really tasty.

Marmalade is also good with Meyer lemons because the skin is thinner
than regular lemons.

We juice our lemons, put the juice in plastic ice cube trays then decant
into zipper bags when frozen. Stack in freezer and use as needed. I also
take a certain amount, usually a quart, and keep it in the fridge for
use as needed in recipes. I've never tried drying them as I can't
imagine eating dried lemons.

If you have room in the freezer, just wash them and drop them in a zip
lock bag. Nice and juicy when you thaw and squeeze. If room is
limited, do as George suggested and freeze the juice.

Pickled Lemon.

100 grams sugar
200 millilitres white wine vinegar
300 millilitres of water
Mix, boil in a pan until sugar dissolved, allow to cool.
Slice(thin like a matchstick) 4/6 lemons(I de-seed them at this point) into
an airtight container.
Cover with the cooled liquid. Place(and store) in fridge
Allow 48 hours before use.

Eat as a starter with good bread
Use, chopped in a salad with pea shoots, make dressing from pickling liquor
and good olive oil.
Eat with pork chops, schnitzel, grilled fish BBQ meat. Good with roast
chicken.



Will keep chilled for about 3/4 months.

Each cube is two tablespoons, so they come pre-measured.
