Great Answer to Annoying Problem

I think one of my two prig ki nu bushes is dead. It's green, but the leaves popped off. I may have overwatered it. Potted peppers can be tricky.

I picked around six ounces of ripe peppers off of it today to keep them from being lost, and I couldn't figure out what to do with them. Oil would be a great thing to preserve them in, but I'd have to cook them to prevent botulism. And that would ruin the flavor. And I didn't want to add vinegar.

Finally, I realized I had a better acid. Homegrown lime juice. I juiced two limes and dumped the juice into the peppers. This will be perfect. I'll put them in a little jar in the fridge, and it will be a miracle if anything manages to survive in it.

I considered using vodka, but I couldn't find a reference saying it was safe. Vodka would be good because it would be nearly neutral. Lime juice is good because it goes great with peppers and nearly any dish you would put them in.

My limes are wonderful. Because I don't pick them before they get ripe, they're big and yellowish and sweet, and they're full of juice. Nothing like a store lime.
