Instructions: Blanch the zest 3 times.

Put itwith the sugar and water into a saucepan.

Bring to the boil then simmer for about 30 minutes.

Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 1 hour.

Strain the lime juice very carefully and add to the syrup then pass through a wet tammis cloth.

This is one of my very own sauces which has been made since the very first Chez Nico. It accompanies fresh fruits and sorbets perfectly.
