Ingredients for pickled citrus

When you pickle salted citrus at home, it is best to prepare two kilograms of fresh citrus, an appropriate amount of salt, and a large glass bottle.

Specific steps for pickling salted citrus

1. Everyone should wash all the prepared citrus fruits with clean water, and then remove the moisture on their surface.

2. Add more water than the amount of citrus fruits into a pot, bring it to a boil, put the washed citrus fruits into the water, take them out after one minute, and drain the water. This can prevent the citrus fruits from rotting during pickling.

3. Wash the glass bottle with clean water, then wipe off all the water inside with a dry cloth. Put the processed citrus into the bottle, adding a layer of salt for each layer, alternating in this way, and sprinkle some salt on the top layer.

4. Seal the mouth of the glass bottle and place it in a cool and ventilated place. The salt will slowly dissolve, and the moisture in the citrus will slowly seep into the bottle. After about half a month, the salty citrus you made yourself will be ready to take out and eat.
