Citrus season is looming

The season of citrus is nearly upon us and I'm pleased to report that I've got my first 'take' behind me now. My fruit bowl is filled with nearly 3 dozen limes in this photo. I made a key lime pie this past weekend. This coming weekend I'm going to make pomegranate-lime juice to quench our thirst and I'm going to cut the peel into strips and 'candy' them. Well that's the tentative plan, at least.

I'm lovin your limes! I once saw some dried ones for decoration at Pier 1 or something--they just had wedges cutout of them, it was really cute. But I wasn't willing to pay for it. So I tried it, and they turned out just as nice. I still have them, in a little basket by my front door. You should try that if you have too many.

How did you go about drying them? That's a cute idea...

Lol, nice, Charlotte! ; )
The Turkish meatballs were a wonderful addition and it was an overall really good experience. Maybe if I'm not lazy, I'll blog about it. ; )
