50 green limes
8 cups of sugar
8 cups of water
Remove the lime skins using a fine grater
At the top of each one, cut a thin slice and discard
In a large pot, boil the limes with plenty of water for 10 minutes
Strain
Reboil them in another pot of water and strain again
Let the still-warm limes simmer for five more minutes, remove from heat and let cool
Remove the pulp from the limes with a spoon, leaving the shells intact and hollow
Place everything in a bowl and cover with water
Change the water twice a day for three days
When you strain the last water, scrape well to remove any remaining pulp residue. Reserve
Make a smooth sauce with sugar and water
When the sauce is cold, add the limes and let it sit overnight
Put the pot on the stove and cook until the sauce reaches a light white point
Let it cool, place the jam in a compote dish and serve at room temperature.
