It's trumpeted as North African/Moroccan, but an almost identical basic recipe (quarter but not completely, pack insides with salt, layer with salt, let sit for a month) is in my New Yankee Cookbook.
So, I bought 5 lemons and 4 limes, for $1, at the farmer's market last weekend, and this is what I'm going to try with them, and buy more to put up. I have more things to try to put up (more peppers, various Indian/Asian pickles), to keep me from eating junk food during the winter when the pickings at the market aren't as good, then I have jars to put them up in, so I may actually go and buy jars, etc.
