Number Of Ingredients 5

1 medium red onion
1 medium sweet white onion
12 limes
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the sugar and salt together.

  • 4. Then cover and place in the refrigerator. You'll want to mix or toss the onion, lime juice mixture oh about every few hours the first couple of days.

  • 6. When you are ready to use them, drain them from the lime juice, " do not discard the juice " freeze it for another use.
  • 7. These should last for several weeks in the refrigerator.
