Sally Buck's Pickled Limes

     5 to 6 limes, washed, halved, then quartered, so they are in eighths 
     lots of kosher salt 
     12 or more cloves of garlic, peeled and cut in slices 
     pimentos 
     canning jars (the old-fashioned kind with glass lids and rubber rings, 
since the metal lids can't stand brine. You can also
     use a stoneware pickle jar) 

Start some water boiling.

Put in the jar a layer of limes and pimentos, sprinkle all over with salt, 
and add a layer of garlic slices. Repeat until the jar is full.
Fill the jar with boiling water. Put the cap on, but don't tighten it down. 

Let the jar ripen until the limes turn from bright green to grayish-green 
(about 3 weeks). A little whitish scum may form on the
top if you've used waxed limes. Skim it off. Don't worry about it; this is an 
experience, germs don't count.

Eat on a rainy Saturday while rereading Little Women.
