4 medium (about 1 lb.) lemons
3 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 cup white vinegar
Wash and dry lemons. Cut each in half. Cut each half into 16 equal pieces. Put in a bowl with salt and vinegar. Stir and cover. Let marinate at room temp 1-2 days. Stir occasionally. Store in jar in fridge. Rotate every once in awhile to move marinade.
I always cut the lemons into quarters, lengthwise, sometimes leaving the quarters attached at the bottom, as many recipes suggest, but other times not. You can get a lot more lemons into a jar that way. ;o)

It does take a while, but so good...
