  2. Into clean dry sterile bottles, add sugar and salt, shake well to mix. Add the cut lemons into the bottles and shake again to make sure all the lemons are coated well.

  3. Close the lid tight and place these lemon bottles in sun light for about 10 to 15 days. If you don’t have sun, then you have to leave the lemons inside for about 25 to 30 days. Lemons will soften in the juices inside the bottle.
