to get started i will be using three
lemons
i will also be using local honey
now this next ingredient is optional but
i have some fresh ginger that needs to
be used before it dries out so i'm going
to add it but again just with the lemons
and the honey can make this preserve
and another tip i am actually using
lemons that were given to me from a
friend's tree so these are pretty
organic they do not have wax on them but
i did trim off some blemishes that i
might need to do as well later
but if you're using store-bought lemons
you want to make sure you give them a
good rinse and a scrub with maybe some
sea salt or kosher salt to remove any of
the wax that's on the lemons
so now all i'm going to be doing is
slicing my lemons and ginger

do

okay so now that all of my lemon and
ginger is sliced i am going to be using
a 12 ounce mason jar and now i am simply
going to layer the lemons with honey and
ginger
and by the way this is a sterilized jar
that i boiled in hot water with the lid
you want to make sure you're working
with clean hands clean jar
and i'm actually going to be using a
very clean spoon to push down some of
the lemons into the honey later but
ultimately all you're doing is just
layering your honey and lemons and of
course i'm adding ginger which is really
good in this type of preserve but if you
don't have that you don't have to use it
just with the lemon and honey very
simple and very beneficial to your
health so here we go

in total i used probably around a cup to
a cup and a half of honey and i actually
managed to squeeze all the lemon slices
in but you don't have to fill it to the
top i just did not want this to go to
waste but here it is and i will store
this in my fridge for at least two days
to allow it to marry together and this
jar
will last up to a month in the
refrigerator quite honestly it only
lasts me about two weeks because i love
to have a cup every day and this is how
i do it i take one cup of boiling hot
water
and then i just add a couple of slices
of the lemon with a couple of
tablespoons of the liquid that the lemon
and the honey create in the jar and it
is delicious and it's so good for you
and as always the ingredients and
measurements will be listed in the
