Exciting Lemons 3

Ok, so my friends Gene,  Angie and a few others have brought up some thoughts about my experiment using Kosher salt so I decided to do another process.....just to be fair, of course.

Lemons in a sugar jar mixture......I'm smiling big because I'm always up for more experimenting!! It's the science teacher in me.
I instructed Mr. Cowboy to purchase more lemons. He thinks I'm a bit crazy and he's right but isn't this fun!!!!!!

I sliced lemons fairly thin but didn't worry if some were a bit on the chunky side then placed them in a quart Mason jar with sugar layered between. I didn't bother measuring how much sugar, I just pours some over each layer until I could see the lemons and at the top of the jar, I pours in more.

Looks yummy already and smells divine but I will wait until February 5th to taste them for the first time.

Stay tuned.  BTW, every other day or so I will turn the jars in the frig so that the syrup has a change to permeate all the lemon parts.

Exciting Lemons 2

It's been about 24 to 36 hours since Step 1.
I might have forgotten the lemons for a bit........sorry.......life and all that!!!!
Time for Step 2 which is the longest part of this experiment.

Place lemons in mason jar using a spoon or fork to help with placement and compaction. See the syrup or juice the lemons have already made? This is a good thing, I think.

Make sure to pack them tightly then pour liquids over all & seal well. Place in frig for several weeks to months.

I'll be checking on the lemons on February 5th, so stay tuned!! At that time I'll open the jar and do a taste test. With all that salt I don't know what to expect but it is fun just thinking about it.

Mr. Cowboy is in the background with raised eyebrows and is about to go out to the back forty to "kick" so dirt.......LOL!!
