9. Nope.
I have a Meyer lemon tree and a Bearss lime tree, both loaded with ripe fruit at the moment.

14. Have you tried preserving some in salt?
They're great for Middle-Eastern dishes.

We had home made fresh herb Koresh for dinner tonight, prepared with dried Persian lemons.

It was excellent.

23. It takes a LOT of salt
no biblical pun intended O8)

Make sure you have the lemons completely covered in the brine solution, and there should be plenty of undissolved salt in the bottom of the container. We usually weigh them down with a glass lemon reamer to keep them submerged.

24. thanks for the helpful hints...
I think the salt level was too low last time, based on other instructions I've read.

21. I know, kinda shocking. I normally am such a pure, chaste lad.
