Marketman, to get the most juice from your dayap, try doing what we do in Negros Oriental with our suwa. Peel the middle part, along the equator as it were, of the fruit. Slice it along the peeled part; somehow the squeezing is easier and more productive.

Betchay…LIME SALT using flakey sea salt…baked with the zest till dry! Store in nice little glass jars or bottles…another execellent hostess gifts! Use as finishing salt. For lime pepper…use white peppercorns.

Oh, no….if I was your kapitbahay, Betchay, and you won’t use the lime rind, I will ask for the lime peel after you have squeezed the lime juice for your curd! I am not into alcoholic drinks either but I just like making them to give away as hostess presents!

Do you use lemon pepper! You could make lime pepper as well with the zest…season your Thai curried chicken with lime pepper.

Do you prefer light, fluffy scones? If you do, the secret lies on the type of flour besides not overworking the dough. Use cake flour instead of all purpose flour. Even if you eat them the next day, it will not turn to a hockey puck!

Thanks BettyQ for the ideas….the frozen juice,syrup however I am not into alcoholic drinks so I will pass up on that Limecello :) I am thinking of a dayap butter/dayap curd to spread on freshly baked scones!

Betchay…forgot to tell you if you want to make non alcoholic presents for Christmas using your Dayap…make Dayap infused simple syrup, and bottle them! do you know that they sell them? I have seen bottled lemon infused simple syrup here at the open markets in the summer.
