Tips & Secrets
- Using thin-skinned lemons is the absolute secret to achieving that buttery soft texture.
- Ajwain (Carom seeds) is crucial for providing the signature digestive benefits and sharp aroma of lemon pickle.
- Avoid using plastic containers; glass or ceramic jars are essential for long-term safe maturation.
- If the pickle feels too dry, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice rather than water to maintain the acidity.
