Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To keep Mosambi limes fresh frozen year round, leave stem on, rinse, soak in cold water overnight, wipe dry, wrap each in crepe paper and freeze.

* Step 2

Make fresh lime mayonaise: juice of two Mosambi limes, one large egg yoke, 3 Tbs olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, tsp mustard powder, pulse till smooth, drizzle cup of grapeseed oil in food processor while running till turned to thick fluffy mayo, good for a month in the fridge. Sprinkle with lime zest.

* Step 3

For lime juice, Use frozen Mosambi limes, thawed overnight, rolled by hand over the counter to loosen juice cells, then heated one minute in microwave before cutting in half and pressing. A 56 gram lime makes 25 grams juice this way, unbelievable. Slice leftover peels in strips, scrape out pith and white peel, preserve in tequila or brandy.

* Step 4

For a 9” Mosambi lime pie, whip 3 fresh farm egg yokes, add can of condensed milk, whip to foam, fold in juice of 8 limes and zest of 8 limes. For piecrust, mix 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup flour, Tbs powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp of seasalt, 3 Tbs of cold unsalted butter, 2 Tbs cold water, form crust, cover with parchment paper, bake 20 minutes at 325F degrees. Cool, fill with filling, bake 30 minutes at 325F degrees, cool, serve.
