Wolfert writes: "If you run out of preserved lemons, or decide on  just
a few day's notice to cook a chicken, lamb, or fish dish with  lemons
and olives and need preserved lemons in a hurry, you can use  this
quick five-day method taught to me by a Moroccan diplomat's  wife.
Lemons preserved this way will not keep, but are perfectly  acceptable
in an emergency."  With a razor blade, make 8 fine 2" vertical
incisions around the peel  of each lemon to be used. (Do not cut deeper
than the membrane that  protects the pulp.)  Place the incised lemons
in a stainless-steel  saucepan with plenty of salt and water to cover
and boil until the  peels become very soft.  Place in a clean jar,
covered with cooled  cooking liquor, and leave to pickle for
approximately 5 days.  From Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco
