This warmer weather is really playing with my heart. I can feel spring just creeping up on us and I can’t even stand how excited I am.
I’m celebrating spring a little early with some of my favorite sweet treats. This Cherry Lime Bread has always been my favorite, and combines some of my most favorite flavors.
If you have ever been to sonic and tried a cherry limeade, or a mixture of the sort, you will know how delicious this bread is going to be.
I love a good summery drink, but put it into bread form, and I am one happy girl. Everyone needs this Sweet Cherry Lime Bread in their lives.
can i use the same limes for juicing and zesting?
This recipe calls for the zest of two limes, and the juice of two limes. You can definitely only purchase two limes, and use both the zest and the juice for the limes.
I have learned a little trick to get as much of the lime juice out of the lime, as possible.
Here is what I recommend for this recipe:
- Wash and dry the limes. Zest the limes, until the white part. You don’t want to reach the jewels of the lime, or you will lose some juice.
- After you get all the lime zest, place the limes on a microwave safe plate, and microwave for 20 seconds.
- Remove from the microwave and cut in half. The limes will be slightly warm, and even more expanded. Cut them in half, and squeeze out all the juice.
- Microwaving helps get all the lime juice out a little easier, when squeezing it by hand.
