Lemon pickles with safflower

My mom used to go to the street market and buy the freshest lemon, then come home and bring out the big jars to make pickles. We didn't have a pickling room but we did have a pickling space.

Ingredients:
1- One kilo of lemon.
2- 250g of hot red pepper, chopped.
3- 50g of safflower.
4- 50g of black seed.
5- 250 of salt.
6- 100ml of olive oil.
7- 500 ml lemon juice.

Preparations:
1-  Wash the lemons and dry them with a towel.
2- Mix the chopped pepper with salt. Then, add the safflower and black seed. Mix all of them well.
3- Make small cuts in the lemons and stuff the cuts with the spices.
4- Put the lemons in the jar.
5- Add the lemon juice. Then add the olive oil on top.
6- The jar must be air tight.
7- Leave the pickles for one to two months to be done.
