Directions:
Turn the oven to 400

pan. Put the oil, golden spice and
garlic mix into a cast iron skillet or oven safe bowl. Put both the seeds and the oil mix into
the oven and then turn the oven off.
Set a timer for 10 mins.
When the seeds are fragrant and popping a little they are done. Let the oil mix bubble and bloom for
about 5 mins longer (total 15 mins).
Fill 4 wide mouth impeccably
clean quart jars about 1/2 full w/ lime quarters. Divide the seeds and the oil mixture among the four
jars.

Cover well, leave out on the
kitchen counter and shake upside down to distribute the spices and juices twice
a day for 4 days. Then open the
jars and use a spoon or very clean fingers to press the limes into the brine,
releasing more of their juice.
Wipe the jar rims and clean the lids well. Continue shaking for 4 more days. Wipe the rims and clean the lids well again, and place in
the fridge. They are ready to eat,
but the flavor and texture will continue to improve in the fridge for several
more months.
