Preserved lemons

Six weeks ago I made these preserved lemons. They’ve been sitting in the fridge in the old house and now the new house for that time. I took them out today to see what had happened:

What does it taste like Uncle Richard? (←voice of the reader)

Well, just like salty old lemons.

Apparently there are better preserved lemon recipes that I should have used:
http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/africa/morocco/preserved-lemons1.html and http://www.stuttercut.org/hungry/archives/recipes/000324.html both look very interesting.

Nevertheless I may well try the chicken, preserved lemons and olive recipe that I originally had in mind. Watch this space!

    You used it for chicken,it feels and looks like a yellow pepper but taste
    lemony but it wasn’t sharp and bitter as fresh lemon.It was mild but it’s
    enough to give the meal freshness and flavour.

    Can I have a word,those two photos are quite terrible,by the way.
    What’s happened?

    Yes, it’s a terrible photo because I had the 300mm lens on the cemera, which means I had to stand right back and try to hold the camera steady while taking it.
