50 green limes
5 cups salt
5 litre bins
You'll need 5 liltre fermentation bins, green limes,
Salt, and a sharp knife, Pretty simple isn’t?
Method:
1) First, It is important to wash your limes. use warm water and add a pinch of salt to wash and rinse thoroughly. use a sharp knife to carefully cut out the top of the limes.
2) Left to dry in the sun for half hour, If there is no sun, I've used a kitchen papers for patting and set to dry.
3. Cut out many of small holes. (You can use a fork instead of a knife, It’s just up to you)
4. Clean and dry your fermentation bins, then pour 1 cup of salt for each layer with 10 limes.
Continue repeat this process until you are done.

Helpful Tips:
1) Green Limes are particularly fragrant and have the best tastes.
So, Do not use Yellow Lemons. It will produce bitter compounds that affect taste.
You'll be smelling burned and instead of sweet and fragrant.
2) Once they have become completely salted, they will turn into soft, brown, juicy balls.
The salt will become wet at the bottom of the bins from some of the lime juice, which is quite all right.
3) That honey should not be fed to young children under 18 months old.
