Description
This recipe is for those who find the vinegar taste in homemade pickles decidedly unappealing. While vinegar plays an important role as a preservative in any preserves, it can be easily replaced with lemon juice. The result may not be as sharp, but the sweet-sour-spicy balance of lemon, onion, and sugar will be excellent. The key is to enjoy this preparation no later than New Year’s: it doesn’t keep as long as regular vinegar preserves, but all the ingredients are wholesome and natural. From the original quantity of ingredients, you will get about 1 liter of preserves.
