  1. Chef John, I live in Asia and lemons are an expensive imported fruit, but we have locally tons of limes. I am sure the same curing process could be used on limes, but would the recipes you have given for cured lemons we a total washout if preserved limes were used instead??? Love you videos and recipes. Keep of the good work!!!

  2. How long do the cured lemons last? Do you refrigerate after 3 days?
    I make moracan preserved lemons and I'm addicted to them. It's basically the same thing but without any sugar and some more counter time. It's fermented so it keeps quite a while. I tried this with several other kinds of citrus too this year and they all were very good. Anyway, I can't wait to try this. Thanks

  3. This video reminded me of that Shaker pie made with paper thin slices of lemons macerated in sugar and baked inside a covered pie shell. And now I want a slice. Damnit.

  4. Caution: I tried to access the 'Foodwishes'com' website and Google stopped the action because –

    So I dunno what dafuq is going on there….

  5. Hello Chef John. I made this and it came out well. The brine is fairly salty/sugary. Do I pack the lemons in a Mason jar WITH the brine or drain it off. Thank you so much and greetings from Johannesburg.

  6. This is outstanding on steak, fish or chicken. They’re so delicious I even ear them by themselves!! I’ll try them as lemonade next. Thanks chef!!

  7. I know this is an old vid buf how much sugar and salt per weight of lemon is needed? Like is it 2% or something?

  8. do you eat them like they are? do you eat the rine also? what are they for ? sorry just confused

  9. Chef John…..I haven't heard from you in a while it's good to see you, I need this recipe. I was looking for the type they make in Morocco well I can't think of a proper name.
