I haven't heard of lemons pickled in vinegar. I have heard of preserved lemons packed in salt:
Preserved Lemons
About 1 quart
- 3 medium lemons
- 1/3 cup kosher salt
- 6 cups water
1. Scrub lemons using warm water. Cut off stem ends; using a sharp knife, score just the skin with eight vertical cuts and cut lemons in half.
2. Combine salt and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add lemons and simmer 5 minutes. Let lemons rest in brine 30 minutes.
3. Put lemons into a clean quart jar. Cover with brine and cool. Put lid on jar and leave at room temperature 5 days. Make sure lemons are immersed in the brine. The lemons can then be stored in the refrigerator several weeks. When ready to use, remove a section of the lemon and rinse gently. Trim away some of the softer pulp, then cut preserved lemon into strips or dice.
How to use: in chicken dishes, especially those with Moroccan spices; in tangines or in toppings for fish; with sweet pepper salads; with steamed broccoli and a drizzle of olive oil.

Pickled lemons?
They taste wicked with curry and rice.

You prick them lemons everywhere, and firstly, boil them in 1 part water to 2 part vinegar.
Boil them for 1/2-1 hour and then drain.
Pack them into jars and fill them with new vinegar!
Leave to pickle for a week or two.
Voila!
