Making dried salted lemons instead of preserved lemons

I think what you want is called msir and it's made almost the same way as preserved lemons, then the juices that accumulate is poured off. Here's a pretty detailed tutorial, http://foodsoftheworld...

Ahh, yes. I saw something about those.
I've purchased dried lemons at middle eastern stores and they always taste a bit, well like fake cool aide products.

I may try both and see which works---I was thinking using 'candied' lemon slices as a starting recipe..but with salt instead instead of sugar.

Maybe you can cook and cool the lemons in supersaturated salt solution and then drain and let it dry out. You might have to do this a few times until you get the dryness that you prefer.

Alternatively, salt pack thin slices of lemon with coarse sea salt.
