Preserved lemons worked out pretty well. My sister thought they smelled like Pinesol, but I thought it was just a sort of perfumey lemon. The salt makes them really soft and a deeper yellow, the flavor mellows, and the pith is edible. (The pulp is, too, but getting the salt out would be pretty tough, and they're squeezed, so there is no reason to try.) I'm not sure I wouldn't just prefer to put fresh lemon zest in a stew, though.
 
PRESERVED LEMONS
enough lemons to fill a jar - 5-6 for a full Mason jar
lots of salt
maybe a couple extra lemons for the juice
 
sterilize whatever
sprinkle salt on the bottom of the jar to cover
quarter lemons, leaving 1/2" at the base
salt inside lemons
push them into the jar, packing them as tightly as possible
add enough lemon juice to cover
seal
wait a month, shaking occasionally
 
rinse the heck out of these suckers before eating

Okay so my pickled eggs turned out great, didn't get a picture because I ate them all too fast :)
They looked pretty much exactly like this though:

A beautiful flower, losc.
 
 
Here's my idea: Pickled Grapes.
 
That's as far as I've gotten right now.
