Directions
Candied Lime Slices,Right after joining RZ, I tried & was not able to find a recipe for candied limes, but Chef Neta kindly helped me find this 1 at the Food Network website. Twice since then questions have come up about candied limes, so I thot I would post the recipe. I modified the prep slightly to make it easier & more clear. use the slices mainly to garnish lime-based beverages, desserts or baked goods, but also cut in sml pieces to add color & flavor to trail mix or add as a sml item to add variety & color to gift baskets. There are prob many more uses that have not occurred to me. Time does not include the drying time.,Hello from West Virginia! My Grandmother, from a Dunkard background, spoke sometimes about her family Christmases, and mentioned that among the favored ‘sweets’ were Candied Lemon and Candied Lime. I understand the sweet, yet sour, aspects with the Dunkards, but am wondering if you think that Meyer Lemons would be appropriate for Candied Lemon Slices, or should I stick with the tarter and more acidic Lisbon or Eureka Lemons? Meyers are coming in season now, so I would love to try them if they would work. Hope you can help so we can honor our sweet, but slightly tart Grandmother, now a Great-Great-Grandmother to our youngest generation. Regards!,Turned out really bitter. Followed the recipe exactly and had to throw the candied limes out. used fresh limes, so I dont think that was to blame.
