Recipe for candied lime
Here you’ll get the recipe for delicious, candied, and dehydrated lime slices, which make a great garnish on a beautiful dessert.
In this version, the lime slices are candied before being dehydrated, giving the lime a sweet flavor. In the dehydration process, the lime slices are dried in a dehydrator that circulates warm air evenly around the oven, resulting in the moisture in the lime evaporating. What you have left are dried lime slices with an intense flavor and energy density.
You can use the dehydrated lime slices in desserts as a flavor enhancer or as a garnish.
