Whole limes, like all citrus, do not freeze well. To freeze the lime juice, squeeze and freeze in ice cube trays. Remove from trays when frozen and store cubes in re-sealable freezer bags in the freezer. Grated lime peel may be frozen in an airtight container for use later in desserts. Then roll between the palm of your hand and the kitchen counter applying gentle pressure.
Lime juice enhances the flavor of salads, vegetables, seafood and meat.
Combined with oil and herbs, the juice is an excellent marinade or dressing. Nothing can compare to the refreshing zest of the lime in a beverage or dessert. Use lime juice to cover sliced avocado, bananas, peaches, pears or apples to prevent darkening. Lime juice also keeps cauliflower white while cooking. Store in refrigerator.
