These limes rule!Oct 31, 2003
By Jim Carson

Fresh limes are underappreciated, but a joy to have in the kitchen. A few squirts of lime juice into water makes a wonderful and healthy alternative to carbonated beverages (and without sugar!). Additionally, they're essential for doing salsa right. 1/4 C Lime juice (from 4 limes)
10 small tomatillos, husks removed and washed (ASIN B0000TL6DG)
2-3 Chipotles, seeds removed (ASIN B0000EIDSR)
1 C cilantro, roughly chopped
8 small Tomatoes
1 small onion (optional)
Salt to taste Cook tomatillos, tomatoes and onion: place on cookie sheet and broil at 500 degrees. The tomatoes will come out in about 10 minutes, the tomatillos and onion 15-20 minutes. Let cool, then puree the tomatillos in a blender with the lime juice, boullion garlic and the chipotles. Add half the cilantro, and whirl just a little bit. Add remaining ingredients. Let stand for about 30 minutes then serve at room temperature.

As close to the Keys as you can be....Jul 29, 2010
By paterbil
The product is great, the shipping is quick, and most importantly....
The Key Lime Pie is delicious!
I was taught how to make this simple, exotic dessert years ago when visting family living in Marathon...they had a resident lime tree in the front yard.
Living up north, a little bit of Keys sunshine would arrive with a box of limes, and these are just as perfect... if only they had the fresh grouper fingers and lobster tails that would arrive with them.
But that's another story, and in the meantime...the limes from Melissa's are first rate.
P.S. with all respect, key lime juice is just not the same...fresh makes the difference

Key Limes...PerfectJan 15, 2007

This was the gift. They were shipped directly from Melissa's. I was told they were the perfect shape, size and color. They also said they made fantastic Key Lime Pies and that was a special treat for the Holiday's, since they live up North!

I bought these so that I could make fresh margaritas for my nephew when he returned from Afghanistan. They arrived fresh and packed well. I would recommend this site to anyone who loves fresh Mexican limes in the middle of winter.
