You may need up to 1/2 cup of extra lemon juice in order to be sure the packed lemons are submerged, especially if using Eureka lemons. Be sure you have extra lemons on hand, just in case. The number of lemons that fit in the jar will depend on the size of your lemons. If any of the lemons break apart, don’t worry. It won’t ruin anything. Preserved lemons can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Did you love this recipe? Give us some stars below!
