Method:

1. Rub the limes with salt and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Put the limes into a pan with the remaining ingredients and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.

2. The whole mixture will be quite watery. Boil rapidly until setting point is reached. A spoonful of the pickled dropped on to a cool saucer will wrinkle when pressed. Store in airtight jars.
