Lemon Pickle

Product information

Homemade lemon pickle offers a vibrant burst of tangy and salty flavor, far surpassing store-bought versions. The process typically involves quartering or slicing lemons, generously coating them with salt, and then layering them with spices like chili powder, turmeric, and fenugreek. Over time, the salt draws out the lemon’s juices, creating a brine that softens the peel and intensifies the flavors. Depending on the recipe, the pickle might be left to mature in the sun or gently cooked with oil and additional spices. This patient process transforms simple lemons into a complex and versatile condiment that adds a zesty kick to any meal.
