For hundreds of years the preferred lemon used for preserving in Morocco has been the "country" lemon, or leem. Mustapha's Preserved Lemons are made with these savory lemons and will lend an unforgettable flavor to any dish. Perfectly whole preserved lemons float in a simple salt-water brine. A traditional Moroccan condiment, the flesh can be used in stews, but it's the rind that is so valued. Simply wash before using and cut into thin slices, or blanche to remove all of the salt and bring out the natural mild sweetness. The key ingredient to many Moroccan dishes like stews and tagines; the flavor is mildly tart but intensely lemony. Jar contains two whole lemons.

Comments about Moroccan Preserved Lemons:
I am going back to preserving my own. This could have been a practical pantry item for those times that you get a craving, but this is not living up to my standards. Lacks flavor and zest.
