I have a confession - I love lemons! It's probably because of my Polish-Russian heritage. I remember having them with everything, especially salads, grilled goat cheese and on fish (salmon, tuna). The other day I spotted Victoria's awesomely-cool post on how to preserve lemons in jars so they won't loose their rich flavour for months and I got super excited. They are perfect not only for cooking fish, chicken, Moroccan meals or fresh steamed vegetables but they would also make a fantastic dinner-party gift. Don't you think? Lovelies, have you ever pickled lemons? P.S: Jamie Oliver has a Moroccan twist on the classic recipe.
P.P.S: Chicken, olive and preserved lemon tagine by who else - Jamie:)

No, I've never seen them like this - looks so easy. My husband loves his lemon. I'm mostly a fan of the lemonade variety :) (and lemon curd of course)
That is fantastic, Jen and Morgan, that is a great idea. The Moroccan version would be awesome for Chritmas gifts.

I am lemon obsessed. I will squeeze a whole lemon on a little piece of fish, people think I'm nuts! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
I do that too, Nat. I adore lemon juice on fish. YUM!
This looks wonderful and I'm sure they will be nice addition to many dishes. I'm going to try make some with Meyer Lemons from my in-law's yard.
