Easy, Healthy Lemon Pickle Recipe With Lime Peel

lemon pickle recipe
Lemon peel pickle? No, I am not kidding. I have been following this trick ever since I tried it the first time and it was a big hit.


How many of you use the lemon peel after squeezing lemon juice? I used to throw away the peel as trash unless I researched that every single part of the lemon fruit is beneficial for health.
So why throw the peel? I made lemon achaar with that. It is no less tangier n tastier than the normal lemon pickle.

So do not throw the lemon skin from now onward after squeezing juice from it!! Just dry the lemon peel for a couple of hours, add sugar, salt, and cumin seeds and store in a bottle. Keep it in sunlight for a few days and the pickle is ready!!
I have two jars ready already.

Since you're adding salt, sugar & cumin seeds as taste enhancers, they will supply the needed juices to the pickle. Lemon peel is scientifically proven as beneficial to health. Never ever throw it, even if it may taste bitter sometimes.  

Recipe
Lemon peel (I make lemondae with 1 lemon daily and dry it for a couple of hours and then throw it in the jar, adding little salt)
Salt
Sugar
Black salt
Asafetida 
cumin seeds

Tip: Add salt, cumin seeds to the peels after drying. After a few days, add sugar, black salt, and asafetida. Adding sugar later will ensure that the pickle ripens quickly.

Tip 2: Add 4-5 pieces of your old lemon pickle to the new pickle and your pickle will get ready in a few days. :)
