Lemon, Whole, to Keep for Use

Put a layer of dry fine sand, an inch in depth, at the bottom of an earthen jar. Place a row of lemons upon this, stalks downwards, and be careful that they do not touch each other. Cover them with another layer of sand, fully three inches in depth, lay on it more lemons, and repeat until the jar is full. Store in a cool dry place. Lemons thus preserved will keep good for a twelvemonth.
