Ingredients

How to make it

  • Rinse the limes (whole, with their skin) and dry them with a paper towel.
  • Slice the limes (about 1/2 cm or 1/4" thick). Place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them drain for 12 hours.
  • Remove the excess salt by gently damping the lime slices with a paper towel.
  • Place the slices in an air tight jar. Add the cloves and bay leaf. Pour olive oil until all the slices are fully sinked.
  • Wait at least 1 week before using.
  • *This preserve can be kept up to one year in the fridge, if the limes are organic.* *wink*
