    | 1. Wash the limes and dry them, then cut into wedges. In a glass bowl, mix them with the salt. | 2. Cover with clingwrap and store in a cool place for a week, or until the lime wedges start discolouring. | 3. Mix all the spices together, add to the limes, and toss well. Cover again, and let stand for another 2 - 3 days. | 4. Sterilise a large canning jar by putting it in a cookie (or other tin) in a cold oven and heating the oven to about 300 deg F/ 150 deg C or more. Leave jar (or 2 - 3 smaller jars) at that heat for at least 10 minutes, or until you fill the jar. It has to be very hot, otherwise it will crack at the next step. | 5. Heat the oil in a pot (be very careful not to burn yourself) until it is very hot and starts to smoke. Please watch the oil! | 6. (Keep the lid of the pot handy -- if the worst happens and the oil catches fire, slam on the lid. This will kill the fire immediately). | 7. When the oil gets to really hot, take the sterililised jar or jars out of the oven, and pack in the lime wedges. It's best to use tongs. | 8. Pour the smoking hot oil over the limes, and seal with a lid. | 9. Store at room temperature for at least a week before using. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
