We are a week away from asparagus from the farm and I can’t wait! Thanks for this lovely suggestion and for telling us about preserved lemon paste, which I can’t wait to try.

How long do preserved lemons last? I have a big Meyer lemon tree and gave my neighbor a large amount of them a few years ago. She makes preserved lemons. As a gift she made me a HUGE jar of them. They have been in the fridge for a very long time. Like two years? They look exactly the same but I hate to throw them out because they are so beautiful. Do you think they are still good? Would love to try your recipe. This year has been a lousy year for lemons since we had a big hurricane and a lot of the leaves were blown off.

Yes, I think they will last for years in your fridge! If they're a little mushy just make your own version of the paste, but try chopping up the peel first. If you have my book Open Kitchen you'll find a couple recipes that use preserved lemon. The Freekeh salad is delish!

Yummy! I’d like to know how long the aioli will keep? If I used a pasteurized egg yolk would that extend the time?

Hi Carolyn- it should last at least a week either way!
