The Alchemy of the Sun-Drenched Lemon 🏆
Creating a perfect sweet and sour lemon pickle is a slow dance with nature. Here is our traditional process:
Sourcing Thin-Skinned Kagzi Lemons: We use only the finest "Kagzi" lemons, known for their thin skins and high juice content. This ensures the peel softens beautifully without any lingering bitterness. 🍋✅
The Salt-Curing Stage: The lemons are cut and tossed with salt, then left to sit in large glass jars under the bright Indian Sun for weeks. This naturally softens the rind until it becomes tender enough to melt in your mouth. ☀️🌬️
The Spice & Sugar Infusion: Once the lemons are cured, we add a blend of warming spices and sugar. As the jars go back into the sun, the sugar melts into a thick, dark, and flavorful syrup that coats every lemon segment. 🍯🌶️
Aged to Perfection: Unlike instant pickles, ours is patiently aged. The longer it sits in the sun, the darker and more delicious it becomes. ☀️🏺
