I have found a nice recipe that ask for sun dried lime and I have no idea how to make them. As I live in Canada I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll be able to buy them anywhere. Could you help? Thank you in advance.<\/p>\n<p>\tJudith<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>Dear Judith,<\/p>\n<p>\tThank you so much for your appreciation of my growing website. It means a lot to me to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>\tIf you have some sunshine up there in Canada now, you could thin slice some limes (I suggest organic) with the skin and all. Then spread them out on a big screen to dry. If you think insects or flies might land on them, then cover them with cheesecloth or a natural cloth that allows the air to circulate. Or cover them with another screen or you could even cover them with brown paper &#8211; from paper bags, but you would have to secure it with rocks so it doesn&#39;t blow away. Place the sliced limes into a sunny spot or even in a shadier spot on a porch with good air circulation. It may take a few days to dry completely; not sure how long.<\/p>\n<p>\tI have a dehydrator and because I live in the city cannot sun dry my limes. So I thin slice them and put them into the dehydrator at 95&deg; F. Here in the city we can get the dried limes from the Indian stores but I&#39;m not sure what process they&#39;ve been put through or at what temperature they have been dried, (usually the package says &quot;dried limes&quot; not &quot;sun-dried limes&quot;), so I prefer to dry them myself.<\/p>\n<p>\tLet me know how it works out.<\/p>\n<p>\tWith blessings and peace,<\/p>\n<p>\tRhio<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>< In a message dated 4\/13\/02 1:04:22 PM, Judith writes: Hello Rhio, Thank you for your wonderful web site, now I can&#39;t wait to buy your book.
