Ingredients:

Serving

2 large limes
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup water

Directions:

Slice limes into thin rounds, blanch in a pot of boiling water for 2 min & drain.
In the same pot, combine water & 1 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer & add lime slices. Simmer for 10-15 min, till white pith of limes looks translucent (May take longer if pith is esp thick or dense).
Drain & spread out on a cooling rack to dry for at least 1 hour.
Put 2 tbsp sugar in shallow bowl or saucer. When limes are dry, coat both sides of the lime slices by pressing them into the sugar (May need more sugar for good coverage).
Store in an airtight container & layer between parchment paper or plastic wrap till ready to use. I freeze these when I make a batch & then just take out what I need to use.
