Today's New Thing: lemons preserved in salt.
I'll see in about a month how they turned out. Most instructions say to leave them attached at the bottom and then shoving them into a jar, but had I done that, my jar would've fit about 2 lemons. So I took the halves apart and only left the two quarters attached.
Today's semi-new thing: a portion of jam out of oranges and nectarines. Generous amount of orange zest, 3 oranges and 3 nectarines, a dash of angostura bitters and then maybe something else if I feel like it. Maybe I'll throw in some red peppercorns. That should be ready to taste as soon as it cools down.
