PRESERVE LIMES WHILE THEY ARE IN SEASON

Tahitian limes will be turning yellow by now, a sign they are fully ripe and will soon drop off the branch. If you have more than you need, freeze whole fruit in freezer-safe plastic bags. When thawed, there’s no noticeable drop in quality of either the zest or the juice. Limes are cheap and plentiful right now so put a few on ice for summer; in the lead up to Christmas, they cost as much as $39.99/kg.
