Preserved Limes (Lacto-Fermented Limes)

No reviews yet

When limes are in season, it’s time to stock up so you have them whenever you need them! These fermented limes taste just as zingy as the day I bought them and are perfect on tacos, in my pho, or on the edge of an icy beer.

Use only filtered water or purchase spring or distilled water from the grocery store.
Do not use iodized or regular table salt for this recipe.
Be sure to sterilize your fermentation crock or jar.
Use only very clean utensils and hands when getting limes from the jar.
