Step 1

Wash the lemons really well and cut off the ends. Discard them, then cut the lemons into 1/4" slices

Step 2

Squeeze the juice out of one slice and place it at the bottom of the jar. Sprinkle each slice with salt, sweet paprika, and hot paprika, hot pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper.

Step 4

Repeat the process for each slice until the jar is full (approximately 7-8 slices)

Step 5

Drizzle the top with 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Step 6

Cover and shake well

Step 7

Refrigerate for 24 hours. Check the jar to see if the lemons have released enough juice to almost cover the jar. If they haven’t, fill it up with freshly squeezed lemon juice

Step 8

Refrigerate for a week before eating.
