How to Make Lime Pepper

  1. Zest one lime and one lemon. Arrange zest in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a low oven (200°F/93°C) for 24 hours to dry completely.
  2. Once dry, break the zest into small pieces and grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder.
  3. In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, combine the powdered zest with 2 tablespoons of freshly cracked black pepper and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Grind until a well-mixed powder is achieved.
  4. Use generously to season your favorite dishes – from grilled fish and chicken to juicy steaks and fresh salads. Enjoy the taste of the Caribbean!
  5. For longer storage, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
