Friday February 20, 2009
You may have noticed that preserved lemons are popping up in recipes everywhere. You see them in the supermarket shelves and even on cooking shows, leaving you to wonder, "What is a preserved lemon?".

A preserved lemon is a lemon that has been soaking in lemon juice or oil and salt. The lemons lose their bitter taste and become sweet. Preserved lemons are very popular in Moroccan cuisine.
