Lemon Preserves?

[Jeanne G]

I saw last night on foodtv - on the Best Of - them making lemon preserves. I didn't catch the entire recipe and it's not on their website when I went to check.
I did find one on epicurious for "meyer lemon preserves" apparently a lemon grown in CA.
Does anyone have their own recipe to share or know if I can use regular store bought lemons for this? And, also, what to do with them once I make them? It sounds interesting but I'm not sure if I would use the preserves. They mention that the peel of lemons preserved are good in Moroccan dishes.
Anyone care to share their thoughts or knowledge on the subject?
Thanks!
Jeanne

I have an article in Cuisine at Home magazine that tells you how to make preserved lemons. It doesn't tell you much on how to use them. They were going to give recipes with the next issue, but I don't have that one. It just states they're good in Moroccan dishes and add flavor to grilled fish, rice, and greens. I can try to scan it for you and email it tomorrow if you're intersted. I also have a recipe for lemon jelly.

OK, I just did a search and found the recipe from Cuisine at Home...

Are you sick of me yet? Here's a recipe for Moroccan Chicken Paella...

Uses: For seasoning rice and couscous – it works like salt and makes the rice and couscous lemon scented. Put chicken/fish into a foil bag and bake with the lemon salt. Use to season stews and soups.--Jamie Oliver
