Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh limes, sliced thinly and seeds removed
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon pectin (optional, for thicker consistency)

Instructions
 

  • Wash limes thoroughly and slice thinly, keeping peel and pulp. Remove seeds.
  • Simmer lime slices in water for 30–40 minutes until peel becomes tender.
  • Stir in sugar until dissolved, then boil for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • Drop a small amount on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
