SS full power nuke, just keep it warped up and it's no prob stopping it and having a peek to check the edges arnt cooking out.
Don't add any extra liquid as it will all come out of the limes, the aim here is to soften the lime skins and bring out all the juice.

Photo cooking out the spice in a cup of oil before adding to lime and garlic.

Evening lc, how many days/weeks is it best left before eating, and how long does it keep for?

Thanks for posting this up, I will give it a try on a much smaller scale.  Presumably boiling the mix in a saucepan would be equally good approach as I don't fancy microwave.

Yer sure it will be fine in a pot but a longer cooking process. I would leave out the garlic and add a little white vinegar if it

Sterilising Jars is required to remove all bacteria, yeasts, fungi and organisms from the jar. Hope this helps.
Garlic is just one of the more difficult things to store at room temperature. I

I recall at the time saying I heated my jars in the oven. Actually my knowledge now informs me this method will not truly remove the above risks.
 :)
Whats your method of steralisation now?

Interesting recipe. The flesh of the limes quickly seems to disappear, leaving only the rind. No idea if I cooked it long enough but it's going to take a long time in storage for those lime skins to soften up I think. Very little end product to show for 2 whole limes.

I'll suspend judgement until I've been able to try some in context.
