Spicy Pickled Limes

Spicy pickled limes are a refreshing and intensely flavorful condiment, perfect for complementing cheeses, meat dishes, or exotic salads.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the limes, then slice them thinly or into wedges, including the peel.

    2

    Select a clean mason jar and place the lime slices inside.

    3

    In a saucepan, bring to a boil the water, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and chili flakes.

    4

    Once the pickling liquid comes to a boil, let it cool slightly so it's not too hot when poured over the limes. You want it warm, not scalding.

    5

    Pour the warm pickling liquid over the limes, making sure they are completely submerged.

    6

    Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they will become.

    7

    Before serving, let the jar sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
