Lime Slice

I recently had an abundance of limes, so made this delicious lime slice. You could use lemons, oranges or any other citrus, you might just want to adjust the sugar level depending on the sweetness of the juice. The dough can be soft and difficult to handle if you don’t refrigerate it first, and the slice is sticky to cut so dipping the knife into boiling water between cuts helps. I like to serve little squares of lime slice with coffee and an amer (bitter) such as Maidenii Nocturne, but if you have a sweeter palate you may prefer something like Niepoort white port instead. See video below for another easy lime-flavoured sweet treat.
