Preserved limes

These are a great to have as an addition to all sorts of dishes, they are sour and salty, so add quite a punch. And they are very easy to make.


You need a very clean jar with an airtight lid, lots of limes, lots of salt and some water that has been boiled and is now warm.

Cut the limes into quarters, almost to the bottom, but not quite.



Next fill the lime with as much salt as possible. 


Holding it together, turn it upside down (into the jar) and press some of the juice out. 






Store for a few weeks (or months) turning periodically to make sure the salt dissolves evenly on the limes.
