Versatile Lime Sugar
6 limes
2 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- Remove zest from limes in thin strips
using a vegetable peeler. Cut away any white pith from the zest
(it imparts a bitter flavor).
- Chop zest and then grind in a food processor
along with the sugar until the mixture is pale green with bits
of zest still visible.
- Store in an airtight container in the
refrigerator.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
