I put a surplus of lemon in my freezer without any preparation. Now I want to make lemons pickled in salt like in this recipe

Is it possible with thawed lemons? I don’t want to waste them…

    Yea, frozen lemons will juice out a lot when thawing.

    May be able to let them thaw partially (enough to slice) and work with them at that stage.

    It’ll be an interesting experiment.

    I use frozen lemons all the time - cutting while still frozen is key.

      How much they juice out depends on the “freezing speed”, if it’s fast enough the ice crystals formed are tiny and break less cell membranes, making it juice out less while thawing.
