Step 1

Make the brine by mixing together the salt and water until salt is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add washed limes to a sterilized fermentation crock or glass jar large enough to hold your limes.

Step 3

Pour brine over the limes until they are completely submerged. If any limes float to the surface, force them back under the brine until they stay submerged.

Step 4

Add a water lock lid, airlock lid, or a regular mason jar lid and let limes ferment at room temperature for two weeks.

Step 5

After two weeks the limes are ready to use. Use only impeccably clean utensils to retrieve the limes from the jar, be sure remaining limes stay submerged and replace lid.
