About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 6 piece lime
- lime zest and pulp, to taste
- 3 packet unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 1/4 cup 7UP
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1Cut the 6 large limes in half lengthwise and squeeze the juice into a large bowl.
- 2Using a spoon and your fingers, pry out as much zest and pulp as possible to create hollow lime shells.
- 3Strain the lime juice and measure out 0.75 cup, discarding the remainder; place the measured juice in a shallow bowl and sprinkle over the 3 packets of gelatin powder, allowing it to bloom.
- 4In a medium saucepan combine 2.25 cups of 7UP, 0.5 cup of sugar, and 0.25 tsp of salt; bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- 5Add the lime‑gelatin mixture to the saucepan and whisk continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- 6Transfer the mixture to a measuring cup, then pour it into each hollow lime half, filling them evenly.
- 7Refrigerate the filled lime shells for about 2 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
- 8Once set, cut each lime half in half again to create bite‑size slices and serve; optionally dust with additional sugar before eating.
