I would really like to know that too. About a year ago, before I got my VM, I squeezed a bunch of limes and froze the juice in vodka for cranberry martinis. If you run the whole lime (minus the peel of course) through the VM, it's very pulpy, so maybe straining is the answer ???

purees things and freezes them a lot so I vote for that method because I assume she's on to something if she does it all of the time :-)

Yes, pureed citrus fruits with the pulp still in them end up nothing like true juice of citrus. I've grown to like the bitter taste of the pulp and the texture, but still to be palatable something sweet needs to be added, and the texture will never be like true juice...

I'm lucky enough to have a lime tree in my backyard, and it is a wonderful producer! I've picked a grocery bag full just from the limes that fall on the ground! My favorite thing to do with them is make limeade. Two large or 3-4 small limes, skin removed but white pith left on, 4 C water, 1/2 C sugar (or honey, agave, or your sweetener of choice), a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, and ice. Froth it up well in the VM and enjoy a delicious refreshing drink. I know that's a lot of sugar, but haven't got around to trying substitutes. You can certainly cut it down if you wish. I served some of this to a worker we had doing some painting, and he said it was the best drink he had ever had. The pulp doesn't bother us at all. Trick is to let it blend long enough. I add ice at the end just to break it up into crushed. Storing the limes for use at a later date: I usually juice them and freeze into ice cubes. But I'm planning to try peeling them and freezing that way. Hope it works! I may cut them in half or quarters before freezing. If I can find it, I'll post a terrific recipe for Chicken cutlets with lime juice - so yummy & easy.Peggy

I would juice them and freeze into cubes in an ice cube tray, then transfer them to a zipper bag when frozen (easier to store) As Lea Ann said, I puree or freeze everything! I sometimes puree together ingredients I KNOW I am going to want together, which is what you could do with your mix-then they are ready to just toss in the VM in a flash!

Lucky you! I LOVE limes and much prefer them to lemons for many things. I also look forward to the Key limes when they're sold here--so yummy (but very expensive). I'm guessing they're cheaper for those who live in Florida?

Jewfish is a massive and VERY tasty grouper! I used to catch them in my canal (saltwater) and could pluck Florida lobster by the bucket load from under my boat dock! I am salivating just thinking about it, and I haven't eaten meat or seafood in many years, lol.
