When life gives you lemons...
What kind of oven do you have? Looks awesome! Thanks for all the recipes btw.
My doctor told me to try the Mediterranean and it has done wonders for me. I have been watching a lot of videos and you are now my muse/guru. 😊
What I do not get ,how do you lose weight on that diet? I can see it being real food for you but not for weight loss. Too many carbs. Your thoughts? Ty
Suzy the t shirt is cute and thanks for lemon information. I had been looking for a way to have my lemons last for my recipes ( instead of always purchasing new ones) and I ONLY TRUST & want your recipes ! 😘😁
As thanks so much for those kind words! ❤️🙏
Can’t wait to make this! Thanks!
I made 2 jars of the lemons and one of limes today can’t wait to try them. Please could we have more pickle recipes please. I love yours recipes.thankyou
❤❤❤Loved this! I adore lemons! I just started adding sliced lemons to the bottom of the roasting pan when I am roasting a chicken because they become a fantastic edible garnish or treat and add extra umami to your drippings for the best tasting gravy. I adore the flavors of Mediterranean dishes.
This is fantastic!! How have I never known this?! I love lemons and sometimes can’t finish them before they go bad. I will be doing this immediately. Thank you for sharing Suzy!!
Enjoy!
This looks doable Suzy. Thank you for this recipe!
My pleasure!
Lovely ❤
I have made this yesterday let’s see how it comes out after 30 days. Thanks
Just watching your videos made my mouth water. Is the sugar really necessary or can I make them without it and if so, will they taste as good?
Thanks for your delicious recipes.
Good stuff right here. Ty
My pleasure!
Merci 👌🏼😍
Yummy 🍋🍋🍋
I'm so happy I found your channel! I love Mediterranean food. Can you please reply so I know how long I can store these lemons after the month long wait of pickling them? My neighbor generously gave me several large bags of the most delicious lemons I've ever tasted. I've made three batches of limoncello and still have more lemons to use. Thanks for your reply.
Properly stored in the fridge, salt-preserved lemons can keep for a good 6 months. It is important to use a good canning jar with a tightly closed lid, and make sure the lemons are well submerged in the lemon juice. Some sources say they will last a good year, that may be, but I like to play it safe!
where can I buy the tamper/masher like you have?
I find myself only cooking your recipes. I searched your site a couple weeks ago and found this recipe. I had to insert a small drinking glass into my jar to keep my lemons submerged. I would love to try with honey or monkfruit. Praying they turn out.
The drinking glass is a good idea!
@@TheMediterraneanDish yeah! Hopefully my intuitiveness lends delish offerings. My husband decided he wanted to swap keto for mediterranean and I came across one of your recipes and he was hooked so we've done nothing but yours.
Yay! I’m so glad you found us!
Hi, Suzy, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of how one can lose weight on a Mediterranean diet? I am super obese and so need help. Any advice gratefully received. Loving your content btw. Thank You. Love from England. xxx
Hi Laura! I really wish I could help but but I’m really not an expert in this area 🙁. I recommend you talk to a nutritionist to help you out. But I will say there are a lot of great tasting and hearty recipes that are filling but with low calories
My mama does this :)
So does mine!
This is also in your book, "The Mediterranean Dish", but the nice thing about preserving them is- how many lemons (and limes) turn rock hard before you get to use them, so (I) end up throwing them away?
Can I use Stevia instead of sugar?
I stay away from sugar & don't even like sweet things so I get it for those trying to steer clear of it. Sugar serves many purposes in cooking/baking. In baked goods, sugar ensures moisture. In canning/preserving fruits/veggies (tomatoes)sugar encourages juice to come out. Honey might work but forget Stevia or Monkfruit -I MIX 1Tbsp sugar into my salt with a fork, and that works great for me. Sugar also disappears as it gives the friendly bacteria something to feed on & will not leave you with a sweet-tasting end result=)
Can you simply eat the lemons?
