Hi Everyone,
Limes are currently in season and it is usual that when certain fruits and vegetables are bountiful, we find ways of preserving them for later and varied uses. Since last year I have been meaning to write to you about preserved limes but by the time I got around to it, limes were out of season. I also want to share with you several ways in which to use the preserved limes so I figured that since limes are now plentiful, we’d set about preserving some limes for use later.
Quartered, packed with salt and sitting in their own juices, preserved limes or lemons is an ingredient you will always want to have stocked in your refrigerator. The uses are many, and preserved limes bring a taste of North Africa, particularly Morocco to our tables.
Here’s the thing, it takes 4 weeks for the limes to be cured hence the head’s up from now.
