Heya Mosi,...I made this last week.,..about 2kg of final product with the beautiful free lemons I picked up at the side of the Rd here in NZ..My wife and her mother scoffed heaps of it already.,😂 What I would like to know is how long can I keep the pickle for before it starts to deteriorate.,..it is a beautiful recipe by the way...thanks

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Should last for more than a month but the lemon will get softer the longer it stays pickled. Remember to keep moisture from getting in, so no wet spoons.

[@CliveEndersby]

Thank you

I'm making this right now aunty. I didn't understand why boil the lemons for only 10 minutes. I let it boil for 15 minutes, thinking I wanted them softer, lol. Disaster. My bad. Most of the lemon totally disintegrated when slicing. What I have left is mostly the skin. So annoyed with myself! Is it worth saving?

I did everything as you kention. I have never eaten this lemon pickle. When I tasted it I can taste some of the bitterness on the lemon skin. Is this how it is suppose to taste? Anxiously waiting to hear from you.Thank you

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi the lemon skin won’t be the bitter part but rather the white pith. Some lemons have thicker piths and that can make the pickle more bitter so sometimes it could be the lemon used to make the pickle

Hi do we keep the pickle out of fridge when done jar

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You have to top up with extra oil and keep mixing the pickle. However make sure you do not use a wet spoon. The shelf life of the pickle will be less than the pickle kept in the fridge.

My lemons are a bit over cooked, but will press on!

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Let us know how it went. The lemons need a very quick steam just to let the skin get a little softer. You can still make the lemon pickle but the pickle will be softer and need to be consumed faster.

[@PolyDave]

Looks and tastes good so far. The lemon pulp and juice has blended well into the spice mixture. Left it to sit in a sealed jar in the fridge for a few days. Only a small test batch, as it's my first effort. Thanks again!
