Its that time of year again when the lime tree needed harvesting. I picked two plastic grocery bags full. It took me two hours to juice them and got twenty cups of juice. Anybody have any good recipes using lime juice? -RP

    If you have some lemons to go with those limes, I have a good margarita recipe I use

    Uh Oh!

    Why am I thinking Tequila?

    Of course you could make Key Lime Pie, or at least a version of it.

    Fresh Lime-aid is really good for the children. Mix juice with water and simple syrup. For the adults I add Cointreau, Grand Marnier and a good tequila for the Millionarie Magarita! Salt is optional, :evil:

    You beat me to it, LC. When I saw Randy's pic of all those limes, ceviche was the first thing that came to mind. Hooray for the coming citrus season!
