I assume they just don't know how many states are in America and getting it confused with a deck of cards, but you would think a publisher or something would have tipped them off before it was released. No one was ever taught that there were 52 states. some people may just not know how to count. No one has ever seen extra states that have been removed it's 48 connected together plus Alaska beside Canada and Hawaii out in the ocean and there's never been anymore, only less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700793314658085909.post-89573544904279724762024-01-24T14:57:38.804-08:002024-01-24T14:57:38.804-08:00Is this specifically for finger limes?

I would imagine that would extract the bitter elements from the skin. Indeed, I was imagining blanching them in several changes of water to remove the bitterness.<br /><br />Also, you wrote "pips". I assume you are referring to the seeds. [Just a bit uncertain since you had previously used the word "seeds".]Andrew Sigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497546378492997366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700793314658085909.post-74242618859610109032024-01-23T22:53:23.136-08:002024-01-23T22:53:23.136-08:00I use 2.5 litres of water to I kg of lime.

Remove the limes, they will be very soft so you can open them up to remove the seeds once they cool a little and thinly slice the skin. Boil the liquid in the saucepan down to 1.5 litres. Once you have 1.5 litres of liquid add 2kg of white sugar, when dissolved add all the fruit back in. You need to keep all the pips aside and wrap then in muslin or cheese cloth, tie it off and drop back into the pot, this should remove the need to add pectin. Boil vigorously for 30 - 40 min, making sure the fruit doesnt stick to the pot bade and burn. Put a small amount on a plate in the freezer and after a couple of minutes run your finger through it yo see if it has set. If it looks set allow to cool a little before bottling, the cooling prevents all the skin sinking to the bottom of the jar.

(I was introduced to the French style (blade perpendicular to the handle) of peeler in cooking school, and now I would never go back.) Personally I find most orange "pumpkins" inconvenient to peel (though I do so with a chefs knife), and I prefer the taste of butternut squash.Andrew Sigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497546378492997366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700793314658085909.post-59560064645852022442023-11-01T23:13:01.313-07:002023-11-01T23:13:01.313-07:00Thank you for your recipe.

I used to bring them to sushi chefs when I went out for dinner. It was always interesting to see what they did with them.<br /><br />When I made this marmalade there were still a lot of individual beads (eggs? pearls?), but you dont experience them in the same way as when they are fresh. Having been cooked, the skins (membranes?) of the caviar bits are soft, so there isnt the same feeling of them popping in your mouth, nor burst of lime juice. I find that the mouth feel (and taste) of the skins is really the dominant element, as with other kinds of citrus marmalade.
