How to make honey lemon pickles

1. The method of pickling lemons with honey is very simple. You need to prepare three to four fresh lemons and about 200 grams of honey, a clean, sealable glass bottle and a small amount of table salt.

2. Wet the prepared lemon with clean water, then apply the prepared table salt on its surface, rub it vigorously for a while to remove the pectin on its surface, and then cut it into thin slices with a clean fruit knife.

3. Put the cut lemons into a glass bottle and add a layer of honey for each layer of lemon slices. After all the lemon slices are in, put the remaining honey in. Cover the bottle with the cap and store it in the refrigerator.

4. Take it out after pickling for five to seven days and you will find a lot of lemon juice has been pickled out of the bottle. At this time, your homemade honey pickled lemon is ready. When needed, you can take out an appropriate amount and soak it in water to drink.

How many days can you drink honey lemon pickled

It is best to pickle honey lemon for about seven days, because honey contains a lot of glucose and fructose. When it is used to pickle lemons, these sugars will go through a fermentation process, which takes about seven days. Therefore, honey pickled lemons taste best after seven days. However, this is not a fixed number. Honey pickled lemons can be drunk anytime after pickling, but the taste and mouthfeel will be slightly worse.
