Hello Y'All - 
I have been lurking for a few weeks now, thoroughly enjoying the posts,
and thought I would add my two cents regarding preserved limes and
Moroccan preserved lemons - 

Firstly, preserved limes can be purchased in Persian groceries, and
probably other Middle Eastern stores - they are dried whole and tossed
into various koureshts - which is a Persian stew - So, if one had an
abundance of limes, I suppose one could sun dry them as the Persians do,
or in lieu of that, a dehydrator - or move here to Texas and just carry
them around in your pocket - 

I don't believe that limes have a thick enough skin to withstand the
process used in Moroccan preserved lemons - which are a sublime (you
should pardon the pun) staple in any Moroccan kitchen, and for which
there is no real substitute - The amount of salt, I think would destroy
the more delicate lime rind - 

Debby
