How to Make Salt Preserved Citrus
Ingredients
– Any type of citrus to fill a gallon sized jar.
– 1-2 cups salt that doesn’t have anti-caking agents like sodium silicoaluminate or sodium ferrocyanide
Instructions
1- Either cut the fruit in quarters or make four equally spaced, vertical cuts allowing the salt to enter the fruit but keeping the core to hold the fruit together, but the deep cuts allow salt to enter the fruit.
2- Starting with a layer of salt, make alternating layers of salt and citrus. Shake the jar after every other layer to make sure that the fruit is well-coated with salt.
3- Secure lid in place and occasionally turn the jar over and back gently, just to redistribute the salt and juices. Set aside for a couple of months. Or years.
