That's what I'm worried about. I do love to eat certain kinds of lemons whole though. So I satisfy my peel cravings with kumquats.

I do, I also squirt them into ice water too.

Sometimes Pepsi or Coke if available.

I had two limes (with sugar) for dessert tonight.

I brushed my teeth right after because I'm concerned about the acid effect on teeth.

Oh, that reminds me of candied citrus slices ....... anyone else make those when you were a kid? Just lay the slices out in a huge amount of sugar and let them stay until dried? I did that sometimes with mommy.

At room temperature? Uncovered or covered?

I have a lemon tree in my garden, but I usually just juice lemons for drinking or use them for cooking. The same goes with oranges as well, I find my gums get a bit sensitive when I eat a citrus fruit.

That was so long ago ..... I guess it must have been uncovered at room temp. Probably it would be best to google the recipe............

......... oh, here it is. Certainly a little more complicated than I remember from when I was 3 yo! http://therepressedpastrychef.blogsp...ge-slices.html

Oh, yum! Special occasion food, to be sure, but my mouth is watering at the thought of eating those orange delights.

I don't eat them but I do cook with them or add the juice to club soda or water.I prefer lemons over limes.

That's the best way to handle it, but the problem is not the limes; it's the sugar. And I hope you brush with salt, because they put sugar in toothpaste.
