Notes
The Best Way to Cut Finger Limes -
Cut open finger lime crossways, not lengthways, to maximise the release of its coveted "citrus caviar." Gently squeeze the lime, like you would squeeze toothpaste from a tube, and watch as the tiny, juicy pearls burst onto your plate. How to Keep Your Fruit Fresh -
One of the best ways to keep your fruit from browning is to soak them in a saltwater solution for 10 minutes. Not only will they stay fresh and crisp for hours, but the salty taste also works great in salads. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt into 2 cups of water and let your apples soak in the solution for 10 minutes. If you'd rather not have the salty flavour, rinse off the apples afterwards.
