Notes: Can serve with steak, use in baking, with green beans, in a spinach salad, with fish or in cocktails. It is more of a lemon flavor then any other lemon juice. Can use anywhere you want lemon flavor including pound cake and icing. It is a deadly secret ingredient. Often used in African and Moroccan cooking.
Salt Preserved Lemon Soda: Put some rind in a glass, add sugar or simple syrup, muddle, add ice and club soda.
