Old Sour
This is an old-time Florida recipe and is still the most-used
seasoning in the Florida Keys. This homemade table sauce can be
splashed on seafood, salads and fresh vegetables.
2 cups lime juice
1 tablespoon salt
Strain juice through a doubled cheesecloth in a funnel into a clean
bottle. Add salt, shake the bottle well, and tie a square of clean
cloth over the top of the bottle. Let the sauce age in a dark
cupboard for 6 or 8 weeks. It should have an acid-salty flavor with
a bite on the tongue.
Cork the bottle, and the sauce keeps indefinitely. There is no need
to refrigerate this sauce, and the older it gets the better. |
